    Space Weather News for Oct. 22, 2003

    Sunspot 484, which first appeared this past weekend, has grown into one of
    the biggest sunspots in years. Now about the size of the planet Jupiter,
    it's easy to see. But never look directly at the sun! Visit
    Spaceweather.com for safe solar observing tips.

    Meanwhile, say forecasters, another big sunspot could soon appear near the
    sun's southeastern limb. The active region is not yet directly visible,
    but the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has seen material being
    blasted over the sun's limb from the approaching spot.

    Major eruptions are possible from these active regions as they rotate
    across the face of the sun over the next two weeks.
