Aurora Alert

The Nov. 8th solar eruption that triggered an ongoing radiation storm
around Earth also launched a coronal mass ejection (CME) that appears to
be heading in the direction of our planet.  The CME raced away from the
Sun traveling faster than 2000 km/s and it could strike Earth's
magnetosphere late Friday or Saturday.  Forecasters estimate a 25% chance
of severe geomagnetic storms at middle latitudes during the next 48 hours.
