Space Weather News for September 7, 2005

Today, Earth-orbiting satellites detected a major X-class solar flare
coming from the sun's eastern limb. The source of the explosion is
probably returning sunspot 798, which sparked strong geomagnetic
storms in August. Although today's flare was not Earth-directed,
explosions later this week could be as the active region turns more
and more toward our planet. September, like August, could turn into a
good month for auroras.
