NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft is watching an active region on the sun, and the source of this activity should be rotating into view May 7 or 8...this according to SpaceWeather.com. There is a cool movie there of a CME that happened this morning. A big sunspot, anyone?

It might be possible if enough people disarm their PSTs and trash their white light solar filters, otherwise the situation is hopeless.
