Space Weather News for Oct. 22, 2006

SUNSPOT 917: Sunspot 917, just a speck a few days ago, has suddenly
blossomed into an active region wider than the planet Neptune. The
fast-growing spot is crackling with minor solar flares. If its development
continues, the sunspot could soon pose a threat for stronger explosions.
NORTHERN LIGHTS: As predicted, a solar wind stream hit Earth on Oct. 20th.
The impact did not trigger a full-fledged geomagnetic storm. Nevertheless,
colorful auroras appeared over Scandinavia and Iceland--and the display is
still active almost two days later.
