[RTTY] sun flare

[pg9hf]

INCOMING CME: Big sunspot 1402 erupted on Jan. 23rd, producing a strong 
M9-class solar flare and a fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME).
  Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab say the CME should reach 
Earth on Jan. 24th at 14:18 UT (+/- 7 hr) and Mars a little more than a 
day later.

Strong geomagnetic storms are possible when the cloud reaches Earth.

  Our magnetic field is still reverberating from a CME impact on Jan. 
22nd, so another blow could spark impressive auroras at high latitudes.

  Sky watchers in northern Europe, Canada, Alaska, and northern-tier US 
states such as the Dakotas, Minnesota and Wisconsin should be alert for 
Northern Lights.
