Received this today from SpaceWx... 73 de Hal, KC8FS SOLAR FLARE: A powerful X-class solar flare erupted Monday morning, Sept. 24th. The explosion hurled a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME) into space -- and it appears to be heading our way. The CME will likely sweep past Earth late Tuesday or (more likely) Wednesday and trigger geomagnetic storms. Sky watchers should prepare for Northern Lights during the nights ahead. WEEKEND AURORAS: An interplanetary shock wave buffeted Earth's magnetosphere on Sept. 23rd, sparking a day-long geomagnetic storm at high latitudes.
