Hi Nick and everyone,
Nick, I have taken the liberty of sharing your photo on Spaceweather.com
as part of our coverage of this latest outburst. If you see anything in
our story that needs changing, just let me know.
Also, Richard, I wanted to to know that we are being careful this time
to say "outburst" and not "explosion."
Regards, Tony
