Hi All,

For those of you out looking at the Orionids this weekend,
the sun unleashed not one, but two coronal mass ejections
and X-class solar flares today -- the first at around 1:00 UT
and the second at 16:40 UT. Those at northern latitudes
should be on the lookout for a possible aurora on Saturday
night/Sunday morning. --Rob
