Pair Of Coronol Mass Ejections From Sun Expected To Hit Earth Today/Tomorrow

11/23/2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

SpaceWeather.com – CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters estimate a 60% to 65% chance of polar geomagnetic storms on Nov. 23/24 when a pair of CMEs is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. The incoming clouds were propelled toward Earth by the recent eruptions of sunspot AR1618. Black Friday might be tinged red and green by the glow of high-latitude auroras.

SUNSPOT AR1618–UPDATE: Sunspot AR1618 has experienced some decay during the past 24 hours, but it is still potent. The sunspot’s magnetic canopy has a ‘beta-gamma-delta’ configuration that harbors energy for X-class solar flares. Because of the sunspot’s nearly central location on the solar disk, any eruptions today would be Earth-directed.
