GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress following the
impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) today, Sept. 26th, at approximately
12:15 UT. Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab report a "strong
compression of Earth's magnetosphere" and the possibility that satellites in
geosynchronous orbit have been exposed to solar wind plasma and magnetic
fields. Mid- to high-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after
nightfall. Observing tip: The hours around local midnight are usually best
for spotting Northern and Southern Lights. Check http://spaceweather.com for
images and updates.

progress? Storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)
