Solar Explosion Directed Away from the Earth -- July 29th
AURORA ALERT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth following an X-class explosion from sunspot 792 on July 30th: movie. Auroras are possible when the CME arrives on July 31st or August 1st. The display, if there is one, shouldn't be intense; the CME was not squarely Earth-directed, which reduces its likely impact.
SUNSPOTS: Sunspot 792 poses a growing threat for Earth-directed explosions--and that's not all. At least one more active region could emerge in the days ahead. Towering magnetic fields jutting over the sun's eastern limb--the same place sunspot 792 came from--signal a new batch of sunspots approaching.

Only if drinking increases your enjoyment level. The evening is great for watching auroras. Sit down, have a beer and have fun.
