Aurora Alert 17 Feb! Geomagnetic Storm on Now!

A Geomagnetic storm is on NOW!

Unfortunately, it's still broad daylight in those areas not covered by cloud. You can follow the storms progress at IPS Space Weather. With any luck it will hold out so people in Tasmania and Southern New Zealand can see something.

UPDATE: Meh, Kp index just dropped back to 4, more storms may occur so keep an eye on the IPS site.

We were hoping to see something up here in the UK but it seems the interaction was pretty weak last night. Plus, it was foggy where I am so I couldn't see anything anyway. I wish you better luck.
