SOLAR FLARE AND CME (UPDATED): Sunspot AR3335 exploded on June 18th, producing an M2.5-class solar flare (movie) and a minor shortwave radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean (map). The explosion lasted long enough to lift a CME out of the sun's atmosphere, since confirmed by SOHO coronagraphs. NOAA analysts are modeling the CME now to see if it has an Earth-directed component. Stay tuned. CME alerts: SMS Text
