Space Weather News for Dec. 23, 2015

CHRISTMAS FLARES:  A new sunspot (AR2473) is growing rapidly in the sun's 
southern hemisphere, more than quadrupling in size in the past 24 hours. 
Crackling with M-class solar flares, the sunspot has already caused several 
minor shortwave radio blackouts, mainly south of our planet's equator. More 
flares and radio blackouts are in the offing as the growing sunspot turns 
toward Earth. Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information.
