     Space Weather News for Sept. 5, 2010

     SOLAR ACTIVITY: On Sept. 4th around 1600 UT, a magnetic filament
     erupted, hurling a bright coronal mass ejection (CME) off the sun's
     northwestern limb. Today's edition of http://spaceweather.com
     features a close-up view of the blast from NASA's Solar Dynamics
     Observatory. The CME is not expected to hit Earth. Nevertheless,
     auroras are possible in the nights ahead. A solar wind stream
     flowing from a coronal hole is heading our way, due to arrive on
     Sept. 5th or 6th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 50% chance of
     high-latitude geomagnetic activity when the solar wind hits. With
     the approach of northern autumn, Arctic nights are getting dark
     again--dark enough to see the Northern Lights. People in Alaska,
     Canada and Scandinavia should keep an eye on the night sky this weekend.
