Plenty more for the doom merchants:-
X-FLARE:The New Year began with a bang. A powerful X2-class solar flare erupted near sunspot 715 at 40 minutes past midnight GMT on January 1st. If the explosion hurled a CME toward Earth (we don't yet know that it did),the cloud would arrive on January 2nd and possibly spark auroras.
GREEN COMET: Comet Machholz (C/2004 Q2) is approaching Earth and gliding through the constellation Taurus. It's easy to find. Go outside and look south between 9 and 10 PM. To the unaided eye, it looks like a faint and fuzzy green star. Through a small telescope, you can see the comet's two tails:
METEOR SHOWER: The annual Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Monday morning, January 3rd, at 4:20 am PST (12:20 GMT). Observers in western parts of North America are favored. During the hours before dawn they might see dozens to hundreds of shooting stars.
