EARTH ENTERS SOLAR WIND STREAM: A G1-class geomagnetic storm is in progress on
April 12th as Earth enters a stream of fast-moving solar wind.  NOAA
forecasters estimate a 70% chance of additional storming on April 13th as
Earth moves deeper into the stream.  Also, a minor CME from big sunspot AR2529
could deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field on April 13th, further
boosting the odds of storminess.  Visit

Above: This morning in Spain, photographer Trevor Perry woke up before
daybreak and climbed Mojacar mountain to photograph the sunrise. "As the sun
rose over the sea in a layer of dense mist, I was surprised to see giant
sunspot AR2529 visible to the naked eye," he says. "I had heard that ancient
astronomers saw sunspots under such conditions, but never expected to witness
this myself." More sunspot photos may be found in the Spaceweather.com Photo
Gallery.
