   X-FLARE: On April 25th, an active region near the sun's western limb erupted,   
   producing an impulsive X-class solar flare.  A pulse of extreme UV radiation   
   from the flare ionized Earth's upper atmosphere and caused a shortwave radio   
   blackout on the dayside of Earth.  However, a CME hurled into space by the   
   explosion will miss our planet.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.   
       
   SOLAR FLARE ALERTS:  Would you like a call the next time the sun erupts?   
   X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and
