Hello All!   
      
   Space Weather News for May 9, 2012

   RADIO-ACTIVE SUNSPOT: Huge sunspot AR1476 is crackling with M-class solar   
   flares and appears to be on the verge of producing something even stronger.   
   The sunspot's 'beta-gamma-delta' magnetic field harbors energy for X-class   
   flares, the most powerful kind.  Radio operators are recording strong bursts   
   of shortwave static from the sunspot as it turns toward Earth. Visit   
   http://spaceweather.com for sample recordings and forecasts.   
      
   SUNSPOT TELESCOPE: AR1476 looks magnificent through a properly-filtered   
   telescope. Explore Scientific's White Light Solar Observing System is perfect   
   for sunspot watching, and it's available now in the Space Weather Store:
