Exclamation More Aurora on the way tonight/tomorrow night

From Spaceweather: http://www.spaceweather.com/

ANOTHER CME TARGETS EARTH: Sunspot AR1429 has unleashed another strong flare, an M6-class eruption on March 9th at 0358 UT. The blast hurled a coronal mass ejection almost directly toward Earth. According to analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, the CME will arrive on March 11th at 0649 UT (+/- 7 hr). NOAA forecasters say the odds of a strong geomagnetic storm at that time is 50%.



Sounds good for tonight and tomorrow night.

Also keep an eye on this site. It is a live map of the Aurora (you need to refresh about every 10 minutes as it doesn't Auto-refresh).
