   MAGNIFICENT ERUPTION:  On August 31st, a magnetic filament on the sun erupted   
   in spectacular fashion, producing a long-duration solar flare, a coronal mass   
   ejection (CME) and one of the most beautiful movies of an explosion ever   
   recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.  The CME propelled by the blast   
   might deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field in the days ahead.    
   Check http://spaceweather.com for movies, forecasts and updates.   
       
   SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when explosions on the sun are   
   underway? Solar flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com   
   (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
