Space Weather News for Oct. 11, 2008
http://spaceweather.com
NEW SUNSPOT: A "new-cycle" sunspot belonging to Solar Cycle 24 is
emerging near the sun's northeastern limb. This is the third time in
as many weeks that a new-cycle sunspot has interrupted the year's
remarkable run of blank suns. The accelerating pace of new-cycle
sunspot production is an encouraging sign that, while solar activity
remains very low, the sunspot cycle is unfolding more or less
normally. We are not stuck in a permanent solar minimum. Readers
with solar telescopes should train them on the sun this weekend to
observe sunspot genesis in action.
AURORA WATCH: Sky watchers from Alaska to Scandinavia should be
alert for auroras tonight. A solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's
magnetic field and causing high-latitude geomagnetic storms.
