GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: NOAA forecasters say there is a chance of minor G1-class geomagnetic storms on July 6th when a stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a cyclops-like hole in the sun’s atmosphere.
AURORAS ON THE 4TH OF JULY: A CME that narrowly missed Earth on July 1st ignited a pair of geomagnetic storms with auroras during the long holiday weekend. Greg Ash photographed the light show during the early hours of July 4th from Ely, Minnesota:
