Solar Activity
Jeffrey D. Law photographed this colorful aurora on the morning of last July 31st at Pentwater, Michigan. Sightings of auroral displays
are likely to become more common as the
Suns activity continues to increase. Between
August 17th and 19th four X-ray flares occurred within a sunspot group rounding the
Suns eastern limb. By the last week of August,
as the group became better placed on the face
of the Sun, it was visible to the naked eye.
