Space Weather News for Sept. 14, 2004

http://spaceweather.com

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.

Observing tips:  Although auroras are sometimes bright enough to shine 
through city lights, you'll see more from a dark-sky site in the 
countryside.  The best time to look is usually during the hours around 
local midnight.
