Space Weather News for Oct. 2, 2002
A solar wind stream buffeted Earth's magnetic field on Monday, Oct. 31st, and triggered a strong geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers
spotted colorful
auroras all the way from the Bering Sea to Arizona. The interplanetary magnetic field near Earth is still pointing south, which
weakens our planet's magnetic defenses against solar wind gusts. As a result, more
auroras are possible on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd.
