(Before It's News)

 AWAKENING SUN: After a week of deep quiet, the drowsy sun seems to be waking up. Five new sunspots were numbered on Sept. 17th as the Sun hurled a series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) into space. The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded the expanding clouds:

Earth was not in the line of fire of the CMEs. One of them, however, might deliver a glancing blow to our planet’s magnetic field a few days hence. Stay tuned for updates about this possibility

Solar wind flowing from a coronal hole could reach Earth on Sept. 22-23
