Typhoon Haiyan gaining strength, heading towards Philippines
Typhoon Haiyan is intensifying as it continues to move across the northern Pacific, packing winds of up to 240 kilometres per hour. Forecaster Michael Ziobrol, from the US National Weather Service, says the typhoon is expected to affect parts of Micronesia later on Wednesday.

SOLAR FLARE CAUSES RARE 'MAGNETIC CROCHET'
On Nov. 5th at 22:12 UT, the magnetic canopy of sunspot AR1890 erupted, producing a brief but intense X3-class solar flare. Radiation from the flare caused a surge in the ionization of Earth's upper atmosphere--and this led to a rare magnetic crochet. Unlike geomagnetic disturbances that arrive with CMEs days after a flare, a magnetic crochet occurs while the flare is in progress.
