Glad to hear the storm is still going strong -- others observed it early this morning as far south as Michigan and Wisconsin: www.spaceweather.com <http://www.spaceweather.com> An X-1 (approximately) class solar flare occurred earlier today: http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5m.html <http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5m.html> so auroral activity may continue to be high for the next couple days. It is currently at level 10 (the only higher levels are 10+ and 10++): http://www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/index.html <http://www.sec.noaa.gov/pmap/index.html> Giant sunspots 486 and 488 (which wreaked so much havoc a few weeks ago) have rotated back onto the solar disk and could generate additional large flares and coronal mass ejections. --Rob ------_=_NextPart_001_01C3AF99.00816826 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3810.1700" name=GENERATOR></HEAD> <BODY> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=453225718-20112003>Hi Ken and List,</SPAN></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003><FONT color=#0000ff>> </FONT></SPAN>Hope you can all get a clear sky tonight for the Aurora in progress tonight.<FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN class=453225718-20112003> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><FONT color=#0000ff><SPAN class=453225718-20112003>> </SPAN></FONT></SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003>I have a fantastic view here in Ireland.<SPAN class=453225718-20112003><FONT color=#0000ff> </FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003><FONT color=#0000ff>Glad to hear the storm is still going strong -- others observed it early this</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003><FONT color=#0000ff>morning as far south as Michigan and Wisconsin:</FONT></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003><A href="http://www.spaceweather.com">www.spaceweather.com</A></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003>An X-1 (approximately) class solar flare occurred earlier today:</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003><A href="http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5m.html">http://www.sec.noaa.gov/rt_plots/xray_5m.html</A></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial><SPAN class=107584518-20112003><SPAN class=453225718-20112003></SPAN></SPAN></FONT></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=453225718-20112003>so auroral activity may continue to be high for the next couple days.
