Sunspot AR4366 has erupted this week with an astonishing 9 X-class flares and dozens of M-class flares. Some of these flares have released CMEs, great burps of solar materials and magnetic fields. And the first CME is expected to brush Earth on February 5. EarthSky's Deborah Byrd is here with sun images from the week, and to explain what the CMEs mean for skywatchers and space weather.

While the CME today was not directed towards Earth, future flares may launch CME that have a stronger Earth-directed c
