ARCTIC AURORA WATCH: A magnetic filament on the sun erupted during the late 
hours of Sept. 10th, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) into 
space.  The CME is not heading directly for Earth, but the cloud's southern 
flank could deliver a glancing blow to our planet's magnetic field on Sept. 
12th or (more likely) Sept. 13th.  People in Alaska, Canada, Iceland, 
Greenland and Scandinavia should be alert for Northern Lights in the nights 
ahead.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates and movies of the eruption 
that prompted this alert.
