   THE SOLAR FLARE THAT WOULDN'T END:  Typical solar flares are finished in a   
   matter of minutes. On Oct. 22nd, a solar flare in the magnetic canopy of   
   sunspot AR2434 lasted for more than 3 hours. The slow explosion produced a   
   CME, which is expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on   
   Oct. 25th. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information.
