Aurora 26.08.2018 r SURPRISE GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A strong G3-class geomagnetic storm is in progress on Aug. 26th as Earth passes through the wake of a CME that arrived with little fanfare approximately 24 hours ago. Strong magnetic fields in the CME's wake have opened a crack in Earth's magnetosphere, allowing solar wind to enter. So far auroras have been sighted in Scandinavia, Canada, and northern-tier US states such as Michigan and New York. |
