MAGNIFICENT ERUPTION: On Sept. 29th, a long filament of magnetism in the sun's northern hemisphere erupted, producing a magnificent CME and several must-see movies from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.  Although the CME was not aimed at Earth, our planet might receive a glancing blow from the cloud on Oct. 2-3.  Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.
