A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth at approximately
21:50 UT (4:50 p.m. EST) on Tuesday, Nov. 26th, and triggered an ongoing
geomagnetic storm. When the CME arrived, the interplanetary magnetic field
near Earth tilted south--a condition that favors Northern Lights.  Sky
watchers in northern Europe, Canada and northern US states (where night is
falling as the geomagnetic storm intensifies) should therefore be alert
for auroras.
