Surprising Dip in Stratospheric Radiation during Solar Storm
Space Weather News for Sept. 17, 2014
http://spaceweather.com
RADIATION DIPS DURING SOLAR STORM: On Sept. 12th, student scientists
in Califonornia launched a weather balloon to the stratosphere during
the most intense solar storm of the year. They expected to measure an
increase in energetic radiation. Instead they measured a sharp drop.
Their counterintuitive data and the interesting explanation for it are
featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com
DID YOU MISS THE SOLAR STORM? Next time get a phone call.
Geomagnetic storm alerts are available from

Aurora season begins, NLC season ends
Space Weather News for Aug. 31, 2014
http://spaceweather.com
Aurora season is now fully underway around the Arctic circle. With
the end of northern summer approaching, dancing green lights are
beaming through the deepening polar twilight on a regular basis.
Unlike lower latitudes, the Arctic does not require a full-fledged
geomagnetic storm for aurora sightings. Check the latest images on
the front page of http://spaceweather.com
Meanwhile, another polar phenomenon is on the wane: noctilucent clouds
(NLCs). Data from NASA's AIM spacecraft suggest that the northern
summer season for NLCs ended on or about August 26th. The
"noctilucent daisy" shown on http://spaceweather.com will probably
remain blank until November, when NLC activity shifts to the southern
hemisphere. NLCs are a summertime phenomenon and they switch back and
forth between the hemispheres accordingly. Stay tuned for more
electric blue ... in a few months.

Earth-Directed X-flare
Space Weather News for Sept. 10, 2014
http://spaceweather.com
X-FLARE: Active sunspot AR2158 erupted on Sept. 10th, producing a
strong X1.6-class solar flare. Because the sunspot is directly facing
Earth, this is a geoeffective event. HF radio blackouts and other
communications disturbances have already been observed on the day-lit
side of Earth. Stay tuned to http://spaceweather.com for more
information and updates about the possibility of an Earth-directed CME
and geomagnetic storms in the days ahead.

Long-duration Solar Flare
Space Weather News for Sept. 9, 2014
http://spaceweather.com
This morning (Sept. 9th at 00:30 UT) the magnetic canopy of sunspot
AR2158 erupted, producing a long-duration solar flare and a bright
CME. The CME, which billowed away from the sun at nearly 1,000 km/s,
has an Earth-directed component. A glancing blow is possible during
the late hours of Sept. 11/early hours of Sept. 12. High-latitude sky
watchers should be alert for auroras when the storm cloud arrives.
Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.
AURORA ALERTS are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)

This morning (Sept. 9th at 00:30 UT) the magnetic canopy of sunspot
AR2158 erupted, producing a long-duration solar flare and a bright
CME. The CME, which billowed away from the sun at nearly 1,000 km/s,
has an Earth-directed component. A glancing blow is possible during
the late hours of Sept. 11/early hours of Sept. 12. High-latitude sky
watchers should be alert for auroras when the storm cloud arrives.
Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.
AURORA ALERTS are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)
and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).

Near-Earth asteroid flyby this weekend
Space Weather News for Sept. 4, 2014
http://spaceweather.com
ASTEROID FLYBY: On Sunday, Sept. 7th, a house-sized asteroid named
"2014 RC" will fly through the Earth-Moon system approximately 40,000
km from our planet. At closest approach, the space rock will be
almost inside the orbit of Earth's geosynchronous satellites. Amateur
astronomers, especially those in the southern hemisphere, may be able
to observe the flyby. Check http://spaceweather.com for more
information.
AURORA WATCH: On Sept. 6th, a day before the asteroid flyby, a CME is
expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field, setting
the stage for a nice display of high-latitude auroras. Geomagnetic
storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and
http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
