Space Weather News for October 10, 2001

A solar explosion on Tuesday (Oct. 9th at 1110 UT) hurled a full-halo
coronal mass ejection toward Earth. The expanding cloud, which sped
away from the Sun traveling approximately 1000 km/s, could strike our
planet's magnetosphere as soon as Thursday, Oct. 11th. Sky watchers,
especially those living above geomagnetic latitude 50 degrees, should
remain alert for Northern Lights during the nights ahead. The best
time to spot auroras is usually around local midnight.  Visit
SpaceWeather.com for details and updates.
