   CME IMPACT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on Oct.   
   24th around 1800 UT (2 pm EDT).  The impact strongly compressed our planet's   
   magnetosphere and may have exposed geosynchronous satellites to solar wind   
   plasma.  Mild to moderate geomagnetic storms are possible in the hours ahead   
   as Earth's magnetic field continues to reverberate from the hit.  Sky watchers   
   in Scandinavia, Canada, and northern-tier US States should be alert for   
   auroras, especially during the hours around local midnight.  Check   
   http://spaceweather.com for updates.   
       
   WOULD YOU LIKE A CALL when geomagnetic storms are in progress? Storm alerts
