Hello All!   
      
   Space Weather News for April 16, 2012

   SPECTACULAR EXPLOSION: On April 16th around 17:45 UT, magnetic fields curling   
   over the sun's northeastern limb rose up and erupted, producing one of the   
   most visually-spectacular explosions in years.  The event, which also produced   
   an M1.7-class solar flare and a coronal mass ejection, was not Earth-directed.   
   Nevertheless, it confirms suspicions that a significant active region is   
   rotating onto the  Earth-side of the sun. Visit http://spaceweather.com for   
   movies and updates.    
      
   SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when sunspots erupt? Solar flare   
   alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and   
   http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
