Space Weather News for August 10, 2006
http://spaceweather.com

NEW SUNSPOT: A large and beautiful new sunspot is emerging from the sun's eastern limb. So far it poses no threat for
Earth-directed solar flares, but this could change. The spot is growing fast and turning toward Earth. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for images and updates.

PERSEID FIREBALLS: With the Moon glaring in the background, this weekend's Perseid meteor shower is supposed to be a
dud. But maybe it won't be so bad after all. Observers have been seeing some bright, early Perseids beaming through the
moonlight. One such fireball is featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com along with a 2006 Perseid
observing calendar and links to meteor radars.

The radar sounding of the meteorite was great. You could use that sound in a
'50's B grade Sci Fi flick.
