Hello All!   
      
   Space Weather News for August 18, 2012   
   http://spaceweather.com   
      
   SOLAR ACTIVITY PICKS UP: Following a week of quiet, solar activity is picking   
   up again with a series of M-class solar flares off the sun's northeastern   
   limb.  So far none of the eruptions has been Earth-directed.  This could   
   change, however, with the approach of an active farside sunspot that appears   
   set to turn toward our planet in the days ahead.  Check http://s   
   aceweather.com for movies and forecasts.   
      
   SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when solar flares are underway?   
   X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and   
   http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).   
      
      
   Regards,
