> AURORA WATCH: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hurled into space by a
solar

Sky
> watchers should be alert for auroras when it arrives, probably during
the
> early hours of April 8th UT (for North Americans, that means during
the
> night of April 7th).
>
> Earth is already skirting through a solar wind stream flowing from a
> coronal hole on the sun. Because of this, geomagnetic storms and
auroras
> are likely, off and on, for the next few days. The best displays will
be
> at high latitudes--e.g., Canada and Alaska. When the incoming CME
arrives,
> auroras could descend to lower latitudes, too.
