Space Weather News for August 4, 2011

   SOLAR ACTIVITY: For the third day in a row, sunspot 1261 has unleashed a   
   significant M-class solar flare.  The latest blast at 0357 UT on August 4th   
   registered M9.3 on the Richter Scale of Flares, almost crossing the threshold   
   into X-territory (X-flares are the most powerful kind). Also, at least two   
   coronal mass ejections are en route to Earth, and they could provoke mild to   
   moderate geomagnetic storms when they arrive on August 4th through 6th.   
   High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras.  Check h   
   tp://spaceweather.com for details and updates.   
       
   DON'T MISS THE STORM: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are in   
   progress? Space weather alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com
