Dr Paal Brekke, deputy project scientist for the Solar Heliospheric
Observatory (Soho) Sun-monitoring satellite, told BBC News
Online: "I think the last week will go into the history books
as one of the most dramatic solar activity periods we have
seen in modern times."

SOLAR ACTIVITY: Sunspot 792, which rounded the sun's eastern
limb yesterday, poses a growing threat for Earth-directed
explosions--and that's not all. At least one more active region
could emerge in the days ahead. Towering magnetic fields jutting
over the sun's eastern limb--the same place sunspot 792 came
from--signal a new batch of sunspots approaching.
