SOLAR ACTIVITY SURGES:
A sunspot on the sun's eastern limb is crackling
with powerful X-class solar flares. Just-numbered
AR1748 announced itself during the early hours of
May 13th with an X1.7-class eruption
(0217 UT), quickly followed by an X2.8-class
flare (1609 UT) and an X3.2-class
flare (0117 UT on May 14). These are the strongest
flares of the year so far, and they signal a significant
increase in solar activity. NOAA forecasters estimate
a 40% chance of more X-flares during the next 24
hours.
