Space Weather News for Jan. 24, 2012

   CME IMPACT: As predicted by analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab, a CME   
   hit Earth's magnetic field on Jan. 24 at ~1500 UT (10 am EST).  A geomagnetic   
   storm is brewing in the aftermath of the impact, but as this alert is being   
   written it is too soon to say how weak or strong the storm might be.   
   High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after local nightfall;   
   the hours around local midnight are often best for seeing the Northern   
   Lights.  Chances for a good display favor observers in northern Europe,   
   Greenland, Iceland, Canada, Alaska, and possibly northern tier US states such   
   as Maine, Wisconsin and Minnesota.  Check http://spaceweather.com for updates.
