Strong Geomagnetic Storm Underway on Oct. 25th

Space Weather News for Oct. 25, 2016 http://spaceweather.com https://www.facebook.com/spaceweatherdotcom STRONG GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A strong "G3-class" geomagnetic storm is underway on Oct. 25th as Earth enters a fast-moving stream of solar wind. The arrival of the solar wind stream was predicted, but the intensity of the resulting storm is greater than forecast. Tonight, Northern Lights around the Arctic Circle should be bright, and the glow could descend to northern-tier US states as well. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information. Remember, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook! First contact with the solar wind stream produced this outburst of auroras over Fairbanks AK on Oct. 25th.  Photo credit: Marketa S. Murray.
