[time-nuts] Solar flare alert...not quite

[Alan Melia]

It's not actually a flare.....that has been and gobe it a great bif glob of 
plasma, ejected by the same region. Spaceweather.com has a reputation for 
over-hyping these CME events. I could cause problems but there are a lot of 
conditions to be met before it is a disaster. Enjoy the aurora :-))
