Space Weather News for Oct. 1, 2015

Dark Plasma Eruption: On Sept.30th, a massive plume of dark plasma erupted 
from sun's western limb.  A bright CME flew away from the blast site and 
might sideswipe Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 3rd.  

Daytime Meteor Shower: As October begins, a radar in Canada is detecting 
echoes from a fairly strong meteor shower.  The source appears to be debris 
from asteroid 2005 UD.  Don't bother looking for these meteors because 
they are streaking across the daytime sky, overwhelmed by the glare of 
the sun.  You can, however, hear their radar echoes.
