>Space Weather News for June 6, 2000 >An intense "X-class" solar flare today was followed by a full-halo coronal >mass ejection. Material from the leading edge of the disturbance is >expected to arrive on Thursday, June 8, with possible auroral displays to >follow. For images and updates please visit http://www.spaceweather.com Wherein it sayeth: "A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from active region 9026 today at 1530 UT." Something like this happened during the previous solar maximum and caused considerable confusion in the satellite-tracking world. Might be worthwhile to follow this one fairly closely. The photons have already started to arrive and should have begun heating up/expanding the upper atmosphere sixish hours ago. More excitement to follow, one expects. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
