[MIham] CMEs en route to Earth could spark auroras

[FSK]

Space Weather News for August 23, 2005

Big sunspot 798 exploded twice yesterday, August 22nd, and hurled a pair of
coronal mass ejections apparently toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms are
possible when the clouds arrive. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras
during the nights of August 23rd and 24th.  High latitudes are favored:
e.g., Canada, Alaska and northern-tier US states from Washington to Maine.
