   X-CLASS SOLAR FLARE:  March 9th ended with a powerful solar flare.  Less than   
   an hour before midnight (UT), Earth-orbiting satellites detected an X1.5-class   
   explosion from behemoth sunspot 1166.  First-look data suggest that the blast   
   did hurl some material toward Earth.  Check spaceweather.com for movies of the   
   flare and updates on its possible effects.
