WEIRD ATMOSPHERIC WAVE RIPPLES OVER CHINA: On Nov. 24th, a deep-rippling wave 
at the edge of space crossed the night sky above China. Eye-witnesses saw the 
airglow layer split in two, and at least one photographer captured beautiful 
images of the event.  It might be a type of exotic wave called a "mesospheric 
bore." Visit Spaceweather.com to see the photos and learn more.
 
UNEXPECTED SOLAR FLARES: Catching forecasters off guard, a new sunspot (AR2615) 
has emerged and it is crackling with M-class solar flares. Minor radio 
blackouts are underway on Nov. 29-30 as pulses of UV and X-radiation ionize the 
top of Earth's atmosphere.  This is *not* a major space weather event, but it 
is a break from the sun's recent deepening quiet.
