   GLOBAL ERUPTION ON THE SUN: This morning between 0230 UT and 0600 UT, the   
   northern hemisphere of the sun erupted in a tumult of activity.  There was a   
   solar flare, a coronal mass ejection, and at least two dark magnetic filaments   
   lifting off the stellar surface. The event appears to be a smaller-scale   
   version of the global blast in early August that sparked auroras over some US   
   states. As before, NASA spacecraft recorded the action in detail. Visit   
   http://spaceweather.com for movies and updates.   
       
   SOUTHWESTERN FIREBALL RIVALS THE HARVEST MOON: Last night, sky watchers in the   
   southwestern United States witnessed a brilliant fireball. It was almost as   
   bright as the full Harvest Moon and caused a loud sonic boom over parts of New   
   Mexico.  A movie of the event is highlighted on today's edition of   
   http://spaceweather.com.
