Space Weather News for July 21, 2006
http://spaceweather.com

Yesterday on the sun, a magnetic filament snapped. The resulting
explosion hurled a CME into space and sent beautiful waves of
energy surging through the sun's atmosphere. Although the CME
is not heading directly for Earth, the outskirts of the cloud
might brush against Earth's magnetic field on July 23rd, causing
a mild geomagnetic storm.

Visit http://Spaceweather.com to view movies of the eruption and
for updates about the approaching CME.

I wonder if it is possible to see the disturbances of an outburst in the
chromosphere with a PST. According to
a cloudynights review it should be.
