INCOMING CME: Big sunspot 1402 erupted on Jan. 23rd, producing 
a strong M9-class solar flare and a fast-moving coronal mass 
ejection (CME). Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say 
the CME should reach Earth on Jan. 24th at 14:18 UT (+/- 7 hr) 
and Mars a little more than a day later. Strong geomagnetic 
storms are possible when the cloud reaches Earth. Our magnetic 
field is still reverberating from a CME impact on Jan. 22nd, 
so another blow could spark impressive auroras at high 
latitudes. Sky watchers in northern Europe, Canada, Alaska, 
and northern-tier US states such as the Dakotas, Minnesota 
and Wisconsin should be alert for Northern Lights.
