Spectacular Eruption: Earth dodges another bullet from the Sun

Space Weather News for Sept. 9, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

SPECTACULAR ERUPTION: Just as sunspot 1105 was turning away from Earth on Sept 8th, the active region unleashed a spectacular eruption of plasma and extreme ultraviolet radiation.  Earth was not in the line of fire--this time.  Must-see movies from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and other spacecraft are highlighted on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

SPACECRAFT FLYBY ALERT: This is a good week for satellite watchers in the USA and Canada.  Both the International Space Station and the US Air Force X-37B space plane are making a series of favorable passes over North American towns and cities.  The spacecraft are easy to find using our Simple Satellite Tracker--an app for iPhones and Android.  Visit
