Space Weather News for March 17, 2013

GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Skies over North America turned green for St. Patrick's
Day.  A CME impact during the early hours of March 17th sparked auroras in
the United States at least as far south as Colorado.  More auroras are
possible tonight, mainly over the Arctic, as Earth's magnetic field
continues to reverberate from the impact.  Check
http://spaceweather.comfor photos and updates.
