A coronal mass ejection (CME) that billowed away from the Sun on May 16th
is heading for our planet.  It is not a remarkably bright or fast-moving
CME. Nevertheless, the cloud could trigger a geomagnetic storm when it
reaches Earth on May 18th or (more likely) May 19th.  Sky watchers --
particularly those in northern Europe, Canada and across the northern tier
of US states -- should be alert for auroras after local nightfall this
weekend.
