   DOUBLE BLAST:  This morning, a spectacular double eruption on the sun produced   
   the strongest solar flare of the year so far (an M1-class event). Plasma   
   clouds produced by the event are expected to miss Earth, so no geomagnetic   
   storms are in the offing.  Today's edition of http://spaceweather.com   
   highlights movies captured by SOHO and the Solar Dynamics Observatory.   
       
   STRANGE LIGHT PILLARS:  A photographer has recorded extraordinary pillars of   
   light shooting into the night sky from a corn mill in Nebraska.  The tall   
   luminous columns were capped with nested V-shaped tops that distinguish them   
   from ordinary urban light pillars.  Check http://spaceweather.com for must-see   
   photos and an explanation of the icy phenomenon.
