Space Weather News for October 19, 2001

Twisted magnetic fields above sunspot 9661 erupted this morning,
unleashing an X-class solar flare and hurling a coronal mass ejection
toward Earth.  The expanding cloud will likely strike our planet's
magnetosphere on October 21st during the peak of the Orionid meteor
shower.  Sky watchers, especially those living at higher latitudes, could
spot both meteors and auroras this weekend.  Stay tuned to
SpaceWeather.com for details and updates.
