(SNES) Possible Auroral Display

["Les Lytton" <Starman@SAMnet.net>]

Hi Folks,

Just got the below bulletin from Space Weather.com, and it looks like with our
current weather trend, we may actually get a chance to FINALLY see a possible
Northern Light display here in Southern New England. The best time for viewing
is midnight and after. Also, because the moon is nice and gibbous, make sure
to keep it at your back while you scan the sky for dancing lights.

Space Weather News for May 23, 2002

A coronal mass ejection (CME) that billowed away from the Sun on May 22nd is
heading toward Earth. The expanding cloud could trigger a geomagnetic storm at
middle latitudes when it arrives on Thursday, May 23rd or (more likely)
Friday, May 24th. Sky watchers should remain alert for auroras on both nights.
Our planet will also encounter a solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole
during the days ahead. Solar wind gusts could stir up additional geomagnetic
activity. Stay tuned to spaceweather.com for updates.

Good luck, everyone,

Respectfully,
Les Lytton
