[SARC] Jaw-Dropping: Erupting Solar Prominence

[Dave - KB4ET]

I thought you would enjoy this page - quite interesting.. Also, while 
scrolling down, notice on the left side "current Auroral Oval" - for those 
of us that DX on 160 mtr this is like a "gate" sitting on the N. Pole, very 
few, if any, 160m signals get through it.. 73

ERUPTING PROMINENCE:  Today, astronomers are monitoring an unusually active
prominence on the sun's eastern limb.  Even veteran observers are impressed,
using words like "amazing" and "jaw-dropping" to describe the activity they
have seen. One onlooker described the fountain-like eruptions as "volcanic
in appearance."  This beautiful activity may herald the approach of a new
sunspot--or it may be just a temporary upheaval, here today and gone
tomorrow. What happens next?  Check http://spaceweather.com for images and
