[Lowfer] Aurora and such...

[JD]

Just noticed Bz has a -20 nT southward tilt right now and the solar wind is 
whipping along at 600 km/s, so there's probably quite a nice display going 
on over the night side of the planet.  While typing, I also see that ACE 
confirms arrival of the CME and the Goddard Space Weather Lab advises that 
the magnetopause has been compressed so much that satellites in synchronous 
orbit may be exposed to direct solar wind plasma this afternoon.

Take your lead-lined umbrella if headed for orbit....
