CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Oct. 
24th around 1800 UT (2 pm EDT).  The impact strongly compressed our planet's 
magnetosphere and may have exposed geosynchronous satellites to solar wind 
plasma.  Mild to moderate geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead 
as Earth's magnetic field continues to reverberate from the hit.  Sky 
watchers in Scandinavia, Canada, and northern-tier US States should be alert 
for auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight.  Check

Remember P7 - Proper, Pre-Planning, Prevents, Pathetically, Poor, 
Performance.
Believe that curiosity is the key to creativity.
Believe that anything you can imagine,
you can make real.
