Hello All!   
      
   Space Weather News for July 12, 2012   
   http://spaceweather.com   
      
   EARTH-DIRECTED X-FLARE: Big sunspot AR1520 erupted on July 12th around 16:53   
   UT, producing an X-class solar flare and hurling a CME directly toward Earth.    
   Forecasters expect the cloud to arrive on July 14th.  Its impact could spark   
   moderate to severe geomagnetic storms, allowing auroras to be seen at lower   
   latitudes than usual.  Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and   
   updates.   
      
   AURORA ALERTS: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are underway?   
   Aurora alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and   
   http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).   
      
      
   Regards,
