Space Weather News for June 17, 2012

As predicted, a double CME hit Earth's magnetic field on June 16th.  The 
impact strongly compressed Earth's magnetosphere, exposing geosynchronous 
satellites to solar wind plasma and sparking more than 24 hours of 
geomagnetic storms.  (The storms are still in progress as this alert is 
being written during the middle hours of June 17th.) In the United States, 
Northern Lights have descended as far south as Wisconsin, Washington, 
Minnesota, and the Dakotas.  Southern hemisphere observers are also 
reporting colorful aurora australis.  Check http://spaceweather.com for
