Space Weather News for April 19 & 20, 2002

A PERSISTENT GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A coronal mass ejection swept past Earth
on Friday morning (April 19) and triggered a moderate geomagnetic storm. 
Instead of waning with the passage of time, however, the storm has
intensified. Sky watchers in Canada and across the northern tier of US
states report seeing auroras on Friday evening (April 19).  Northern skies
will continue to glow through Saturday morning (April 20) if geomagnetic
activity persists at current levels.  High-latitude sky watchers should
remain alert for naked-eye auroras, while mid-latitude observers might be
able to record fainter auroras on film.  Sky watchers in southern
Australia and New Zealand might also spot Southern Lights. Visit
