The sun has been rather quiet of late but has since roared back to life with a major X-class solar flare eruption, the most powerful class of solar flare.The intense solar flare originated from sunspot region AR3869 and unfolded over the span of an hour, reaching its peak at 11:57 p.m. EDT on Oct. 23 (0357 GMT on Oct. 24). Extreme ultraviolet radiation from the eruption triggered shortwave radio blackouts over Australia and Southeast Asia.

Fireball blazes across Lake Erie a week before Halloween
(Paul M.)
On Monday (Oct. 21) night, a bright fireball could be seen streaking across the skies over Lake Erie in the U.S. and Canada. Over 550 witness reports of the meteor were submitted to the American Meteor Society's (AMS) "Report a Fireball" webpage; the object could be tracked moving from northeast of Cleveland, Ohio, to just west of Erie, Pennsylvania. The event occurred around 7:00 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT) on Oct. 21. Accounts of the fireball came from viewers as far east as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and as far south as Madison, North Carolina - nearly 400 miles (640 kilometers) away.
