Another Solar Storm Approaching

RZG writes: "Aurora might be visible again across the mid-latitude portions of the U.S. and Europe, thanks to the CMEs (coronal mass ejections) associated with two powerful X class solar flares, and some smaller flares. The activity may begin in the next few hours, and last up to several days. The NOAA predicts another G3 class storm. Watch Spaceweather.com, the NOAA's space weather forcast, or this solar activity report for more information. The geomagnetic storm could cause power and satellite failures."

Watch it in Real-Time

The ISTP site has a nice page that links to all the instruments that will be studying this in real-time. For those who want to watch the Ionosphere, try the SuperDARN Ionospheric Radars real-time page. (Gratuitious Plug - This is my page).

Direct Links to SOHO Observations of the CME

The Solar and Helliospheric Oberservatory (SOHO) has really some really nice observations of this CME, including movies made with various instruments. SOHO orbits at the L! point so that it can make constant observations of the Sun.

I'm sure glad that they were able to pull SOHO out of its problems, it sure does make some nice observations.
