Space Weather News for Sept. 22, 2009

NEW SUNSPOTS: In a year when the sun has been utterly blank 80% of
the time, the sudden emergence of two large sunspots in a single day
is a noteworthy event. Today is such a day. NASA satellites and
amateur astronomers are monitoring a pair of growing sunspots, both
apparently members of long-overdue Solar Cycle 24. The emergence
of these active regions is not enough to end the deepest solar
minimum in nearly a hundred years, but they do represent a
significant uptick in solar activity. Check http://spaceweather.com
for images and updates.
SEPT. EQUINOX: Today, Sept. 22nd at 2118 UT (5:18 pm EDT), the sun
crosses the celestial equator. This event marks the beginning of
autumn in the northern hemisphere and spring in the southern
hemisphere. It's also the beginning of aurora season around the
poles. Happy equinox!
