Space Weather News for Dec. 30, 2016 http://spaceweather.com https://www.facebook.com/spaceweatherdotcom AURORA SOUNDS IN SWEDEN: The idea that auroras make noise has long been controversial.  However, whole groups of listeners in northern Sweden have recently heard strange sounds during magnetic storms.  On Christmas night, an aurora tour guide recorded the audio using his iPhone--and it sounds like Star Wars blaster fire.  Visit today's edition of Spaceweather.com for the full story. HERE COMES THE SOLAR WIND (AGAIN): 2016 might get one more blast of Arctic auroras before the year is over.  Another stream of solar wind is heading for Earth, and it could arrive before New Year's Eve. Monitor the realtime aurora gallery for sightings. Remember, SpaceWeather.com is on Facebook! The incoming solar wind stream is flowing from a coronal hole (CH) in the sun's atmosphere, shown here in an image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.
