Coronograph showing X-1
Flare yesterday and
CME heading toward Earth.
Wednesday, September 14th - Aurora Alert Tonight...
An aurora alert is currently in effect for all of
our planet. A large eruption of sunspot 798 yesterday, hurled a
Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) almost directly at Earth. This was
an X-1 class flare, which is what sparked last November's
spectacular display of the Northern Lights. The (CME) is racing
toward Earth and it could spark a severe geomagnetic storm when
it arrives--perhaps tonight. Sky-watchers everywhere are advised
to stay alert tonight and early tomorrow morning.
