A BIG ANGRY SUNSPOT IS FACING EARTH: This weekend, active sunspot 4274 is directly facing Earth. With an unstable delta-class magnetic field, it poses a threat for powerful X-class solar flares. If such a flare does occur today, it will certainly be geoeffective.


COMET 3I/ATLAS HAS SPROUTED AN UNUSUAL TAIL: After passing behind the sun in late October, interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is now visible from Earth again. Astronomers are photographing it in the pre-dawn sky (constellation Virgo).


Michael Jaeger of Austria has been tracking the comet since it re-appeared on Nov. 4th. "We have something unusual to report," he says. "3I/ATLAS showed a complex tail structure early this morning (Nov. 8th)."


 
Just a little hint

When you refer to spaceweather.com - do not use the main link to the site - because the content always changes / gets updated with whatever is most actual.

So, if you wish to refer to a specific article or event - click on their time machine (upper right corner) with the appropriate date. Then copy the link. That way you preserve the content of a certain date, to everyone who later wishes to read about it - also will access that very article.
