WEIRD ATMOSPHERIC WAVE RIPPLES OVER CHINA: On Nov. 24th, a deep-rippling wave
at the edge of space crossed the night sky above China. Eye-witnesses saw the
airglow layer split in two, and at least one photographer captured beautiful
images of the event.  It might be a type of exotic wave called a "mesospheric
bore." Visit Spaceweather.com to see the photos and learn more.
 
UNEXPECTED SOLAR FLARES: Catching forecasters off guard, a new sunspot
(AR2615) has emerged and it is crackling with M-class solar flares. Minor
radio blackouts are underway on Nov. 29-30 as pulses of UV and X-radiation
ionize the top of Earth's atmosphere.  This is *not* a major space weather
event, but it is a break from the sun's recent deepening quiet.
