A Big Sunspot Emerges

Space Weather News for Oct. 17, 2014
http://spaceweather.com

A large and active sunspot is emerging over the sun's southeastern
limb. Only two to three days ago, this active region unleashed
multiple flares and hurled a massive CME over the edge of the sun. If
these eruptions continue apace, solar activity could sharply increase
in the days ahead as the sunspot turns to face Earth. Visit
