right now. http://umtof.umd.edu/pm/ there's going to be some 'interesting' energy from the Sun with the big spot moving around to line up facing Earth.
Of course if there is already a topic for solar/space weather then woops.

Possibly some coronal mass ejections. Nothing new about that.

I know, it may be how very old it is that intrigues me so. Geomagnetic storm right now which means auroras for those of you lucky enough, and north enough to be able to see them.
