(meteorobs) FW: CME Alert (a heads-up for aurora observers)

[Thomas Dorman]

Hi.All
There has been another M class flare explosion from
sunspot 798 on August 23,2005.It is not known at this
time if a third CME has been hurled in earth's
direction.SEC or spaceweather should be monitored for
updates for possible third CME.
