Space Weather News for May 29, 2003<br />http://www.spaceweather.com<br /><br /><br />Two solar coronal mass ejections swept past Earth today, triggering strong<br />and ongoing geomagnetic storms. Because of the timing of the impacts, the<br />best places to see auroras so far have been New Zealand and southern parts<br />of Australia. Sky watchers elsewhere should be alert for auroras after<br />local nightfall. Even mid-latitude observers might spot some Northern and<br />Southern Lights. Because the moon is nearly-new, lunar glare will not<br />interfere with faint auroras.<br /><br /><br />Another coronal mass ejection is likely en route to Earth. If so it would<br />arrive on Friday, May 30th, and extend the ongoing geomagnetic activity.<br /><br /><br />Visit spaceweather.com for updates.
