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!
