Hi All,

Off-topic post regarding possible upcoming aurora. I noticed
in the LASCO C3 imagery today that there was a full-halo coronal
outburst starting around 11:40 UT (9 October). It wasn't
particularly bright, but it was quite symmetric, indicating
that it was oriented toward earth. This could lead to good
midlatitude aurora conditions by Thursday. Go to the
following link:

click the GIF (512x512) and C3 radio buttons, and then click
Submit Query. (If you have a slow connection, you may want
to do the 256x256 movie instead.)

Cheers,
Rob
