Auroras possible this weekend as Earth enters a new solar wind stream

Space Weather News for Oct. 15, 2016 http://spaceweather.com https://www.facebook.com/spaceweatherdotcom WEEKEND AURORA WATCH: High-latitude auroras are possible this weekend as Earth enters a high-speed stream of solar wind flowing from a hole in the sun's atmosphere. This is a broad stream, and its influence could persist for 2 or 3 days. Arctic observers are favored because only in the Arctic will the intensity of the auroras likely rival that of this weekend's full Moon. Visit Spaceweather.com for updates and more information. Remember, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook! Auroras over Grand Portage, Minnesota, on Oct. 13th.  Note the moonbow (lunar rainbow) in the spray of the falls.  Photo credit: Jim Schnortz.
