Space Weather News for August 4, 2014

METEOR ACTIVITY: Meteor activity is increasing as Earth plunges deeper into
the debris stream of Comet Swift-Tuttle, source of the annual Perseid meteor
shower. Last night alone, NASA cameras recorded more than a dozen Perseid
fireballs along with one sporadic bolide (exploding meteor) that might have
dropped pieces of itself over the southeastern USA.   Visit http
//spaceweather.com for video and observing tips.
 
CHANCE OF FLARES: Sunspot AR2130 is directly facing Earth and it has a complex
'delta-class' magnetic field that harbors energy for strong flares. X-flare
alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and
http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
