Search Between the Covers

Kudos to Amazon for their new word and phrase search inside the covers of 120,000 participating books. Apparently some of the books were optically scanned. I suppose Amazon got other publishers to participate and give their electronic text to Amazon for this project. Via this posting on MeFi.

Sunspots

“An explosion near giant sunspot 484 on Oct. 22nd hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME, pictured above) toward Earth. Forecasters expect it to arrive on Oct. 24th and possibly trigger a strong geomagnetic storm…sunspot 484 unleashed an X1-flare on Oct 19th, and sunspot 486 produced an M9-flare (almost X-class) on Oct. 22nd. Further eruptions are possible as they rotate across the face of the sun over the next two weeks.” From Spaceweather.com

Sunspot 484 is pictured in the animation below. Sunspot 486 was not directly facing the earth when it produced this CME. The animation above is over a seven hour period.
