Space Weather News for Sept. 14, 2013

   QUIET SUN: Right in the middle of Solar Max, the sun has entered one of its   
   deepest quiet spells in years. Flare activity has subsided and the sun's x-ray   
   output has flatlined.  This event highlights the unpredictability of the solar   
   cycle.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for updates and commentary.   
       
   AURORAS ANYWAY: Even during a period of low solar activity, geomagnetic storms   
   and auroras are possible as solar wind streams buffet Earth's magnetic field.   
   Earth is inside such a stream right now. Geomagnetic storm alerts are   
   available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spa   
   eweatherphone.com (voice).
