A coronal mass ejection has arrived from the sun recently As a result the aurora might be seen tonight where skies are clear, especially across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the north of England pic.twitter.com/tQduIp3ayu

Heads up #aurora chasers! Charge your camera batteries and keep your eyes on the sky this weekend, because we may have some good aurora in store. All the elements need to align, but due to the effects of one (or more) CME+CIR/CHHSS combo, we may see G2/Kp 6 storming. pic.twitter.com/R2GppEv3Rk

One of my favorite tools, Solar Demon, is showing an EUV wave associated with the CME currently lifting off the Sun due to an X1.6 flare from AR 3663. I think it's safe to say there is something coming. Here are the data on Solar Demon: www.sidc.be/solardemon/dimmings_details.php?science=0&dimming_id=9996&delay=80&prefix=pBDI_&small=1&aid=0&graph=1 @halocme pic.twitter.com/fSy17CbVkV

A #solarstorm comes! NOAA & NASA predict the storm launched during the X1.6-flare will hit Earth late May 5. NASA indicates the shockwave will cause the main disruption, with the bulk of the storm missing us. Expect #aurora shows to reach mid-latitudes but quiet down quickly. pic.twitter.com/N3v0hnJwAn
