taxladyI signed up for NASA's space weather newsletter. Yesterday I got an alert that:
Sunspot 798/808 flared twice more yesterday, and at least one of the X-class explosions propelled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. NOAA forecasters estimate a 70% chance of severe geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives--perhaps tonight, Sept. 14-15. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras.
Ooh, finally a chance to see the Aurora Borealis. It rained. Phooey. There is enough thin cloud tonight that I can't see stars. I guess I won't be able to see any aurora tonight either. Phooey.
