METEOR ACTIVITY: Meteor activity is increasing as Earth plunges deeper
into the debris stream of Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual
Perseid meteor shower. Last night alone, NASA cameras recorded more than
a dozen Perseid fireballs along with one sporadic bolide (exploding
meteor) that might have dropped pieces of itself over the southeastern
USA.

CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2130 is directly facing Earth and it has a
complex 'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong
flares. X-flare alerts are available from
