Northern Lights coming down as far as California after G3 eruption
El Reg is reporting [theregister.co.uk] that nature will be giving many of us living northerly climes a fireworks show:
A major eruption from the surface of the Sun could give a spectacular display of the aurora borealis in time for New Year's festivities.
At 1245 UTC (0445 PT) on 28 December our star belched out a coronal mass ejection from the surface in our direction. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reports that a G3-class solar storm will hit us on 30 and 31 December, and the delightful lighting effects this will cause might be seen as far south as California.
Enjoy!
You definitely intend to start living sometime soon.
