Space Weather News for October 10, 2001

A solar explosion on Tuesday (Oct. 9th at 1110 UT) hurled a full-halo
coronal mass ejection toward Earth. The expanding cloud, which sped away
from the Sun traveling approximately 1000 km/s, could strike our planet's
magnetosphere as soon as Thursday, Oct. 11th. Sky watchers, especially
those living above geomagnetic latitude 50 degrees, should remain alert
for Northern Lights during the nights ahead. The best time to spot auroras
is usually around local midnight. Visit SpaceWeather.com for details and
