Sun explosion could trigger auroras overnight
HYANNIS - Watch for auroras in the northern sky overnight.

An explosion on the sun Wednesday hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. The approaching cloud of particles could spark a geomagnetic storm when it arrives and hits the Earth's atmosphere, probably today, according to www.spaceweather.com.

If a storm erupts, the best displays will be at higher latitudes: e.g., Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia.

However, auroras could descend to lower latitudes, too, spreading across northern-tier states from Maine to Washington and elsewhere.

Sometimes during a geomagnetic storm, the sky appears to be blank - no auroras. The display may be too faint to see with the unaided eye. Try using your camera: a 15-second exposure can reveal colorful auroras just below the threshold of naked-eye visibility.

YEAH! CORONAL MASS EJACULATION!

my radio station gets satillite reports about stuff like this.

Cool man. I thought you would dig this Rev seeing it mentions the camera deal for seeing it better and you are a bit further up north. Not by much but maybe you can catch it.

lattitude-wise, if you would see it, I would see it.
we are only a couple degrees from each other.

True, but I don't have a camera. I am going out tonight anyway to see if I can spot anything. I love shit like this.
