Uranus and Geomagnetic Storms

Two solar coronal mass ejections swept past Earth today, triggering strong

and ongoing geomagnetic storms. Because of the timing of the impacts, the

best places to see auroras so far have been New Zealand and southern parts

of Australia. Sky watchers elsewhere should be alert for auroras after

local nightfall. Even mid-latitude observers might spot some Northern and

Southern Lights. Because the moon is nearly-new, lunar glare will not

interfere with faint auroras.

 

Another coronal mass ejection is likely en route to Earth. If so it would

arrive on Friday, May 30th, and extend the ongoing geomagnetic activity.
