  summary: "Yesterday's solar "<a href="http://spaceweather.com/submissions/large_image_popup.php?image_name=Didier-Favre-20080512_12h26TU_PST102_1210628068.jpg" target="_blank">fire fountain</a>" has subsided and the source has revealed itself. "It's a crackling, energetic region on the sun's surface," reports Pete Lawrence, who sends this picture from Selsey, UK:

	text: "The core of the region has not coelesced into an actual sunspot, but it is nevertheless lively and interesting to watch: "A few bright flares have been occurring this morning," says Lawrence. "If you've got clear skies and a solar telescope, don't forget to keep a look out as anything can happen!""
