Friday December 12, 2008 fleeting sunspot group #11009 produced a C class solar
flare before setting around the west limb of the Sun. This is the first C class
solar flare since April 03, 2008. </FONT></STRONG>

a filament eruption occurred in the northwest quadrant of the Sun beginning at
approximately 0615 UTC. This produced a weak partially geo-effective (Earth
facing) coronal mass ejection (CME) that "may" impact Earth's geomagnetic field
in a minor way (Kp 3) on or about Monday December 15, 2008.</FONT></STRONG>
