     Subj: Geomagnetic Storms Possible on March 11-12
     Space Weather News for March 11, 2012
     http://spaceweather.com

     INCOMING CMEs: One and perhaps two CMEs are expected to hit Earth's
     magnetic field today. Of particular interest is a CME launched
     toward Earth by a powerful M8-class eruption on March 10.
     Forecasters say the cloud could spark minor to severe geomagnetic
     storms when it arrives on March 11-12. High-latitude sky watchers
     should be alert for auroras tonight. Check http://spaceweather.com
     for updates.

     WHAT DOES A SOLAR FLARE SOUND LIKE? Saturday's M8-class flare hit
     Earth with a burst of strong shortwave radio emissions. Today's
     edition of Spaceweather.com features an audio recording of the blast
     captured by an amateur astronomer in New Mexico.

     SPACE WEATHER ALERTS: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms
     are in progress? Aurora alerts are available from
     http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com
     (voice).
