fearless forcast

[Dirk L]

Die Ereignisse auf der Sonne haben uns hier am GI mal wieder veranlasst eine Aurora Warnung zu wagen. Allerdings ist das alles zur Zeit so undurchsichtig, dass dieser "Auroral Alert" nur ganz vorsichtig was ankuendigt, mit grosser Unsicherheit in der Ankunftszeit. Chuck Deehr hat geschrieben:

The Halloween series of solar events for this year began Friday evening and
lasted over the weekend. This year's swarm is much less intense than last
year, but it should produce some aurora. The effects of these events will
reach Earth beginning late in the evening of Nov 2nd Greenwich Time.

This means that those of you in the US and Europe should watch the sky at
local midnight on the evening of the 1st and the 2nd, in case the
disturbance is early. The effect of these events on the aurora is not
expected to be very large, so we do not expect the aurora to venture farther
equatorward than the Canadian and Scandinavian borders.
