Geomagnetic Storm Warning
A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth at approximately 21:50 UT (4:50 p.m. EST) on Tuesday, Nov. 26th, and triggered an ongoing geomagnetic storm. When the CME arrived, the interplanetary magnetic field near Earth tilted south--a condition that favors Northern Lights. Sky watchers in northern Europe, Canada and northern US states (where night is falling as the geomagnetic storm intensifies) should therefore be alert for auroras. :: This Space Weather report is submitted for your signs in the sun (Luke 21:25; Joel 2:30) and signs in the heavens (Luke 21:11) files.
