Be On Alert For Aurora

[masterdrago]

A stream of solar wind particles is arriving at the earth and for the next several days aurora activity might be especially high. A hole in the suns atmosphere has apparently opened up http://spaceweather.com/images2018/10nov18/ch_strip.jpg  You can sign up for alerts at http://spaceweather.com

But as there are no cruises to Alaska at this time of year, kind of pointless to post on this forum.

I've seen reports that it could be visible as far to the south as the Northern 48 States. But as an Alaskan in Wasilla, I'm hoping the clouds clear enough before tonight.

More streams have exited the coronal hole on the Sun and are heading our way. Watch on the 15th for some rather intense activity. The shot in the link was taken on March 5th near Fairbanks http://spaceweathergallery.com/full_image.php?image_name=The-Aurora-Chasers-BF2A2523-Edit_1551920191.jpg&PHPSESSID=rnknujkrsbau45822v7dphr7m0
