STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM PREDICTED: A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading straight for Earth. NOAA forecasters say that strong G3-class geomagnetic storms are possible when it arrives on Dec. 9th. The full halo CME was launched on Dec. 6th by an M8-class solar flare from sunspot 4299. If it is as potent as NOAA thinks, it could spark auroras from the Arctic Circle to mid-latitude US states. CME impact alerts: SMS Text.
THE VIEW FROM THE FLIGHT DECK: The storm hasn't even started, but auroras are already dancing around the Arctic Circle. Pilot Matt Melnyk saw them last night while flying 37,000 feet over Greenland:
