That's cool, I'd like to subscribe to that. Tried to subscribe to a Space
Weather podcast, but the podcast audio wasn't supported on the VR Stream.

Steve, I looked for the article about the solar storm in USA Today both in
today and yesterday's papers and couldn't find them. Did you get it online
somewhere? Jim WA6EKS

Subject: Solar Storm Heading for Earth
BlankSolar storm heading for Earth By Doyle Rice USA TODAY A solar flare
that launched off the sun Wednesday afternoon could wreak havoc with
communications systems and power systems on the Earth, as well as with
satellites in orbit, in coming days. Forecasters with NOAA's Space Weather
Prediction Center said the flare already "caused impacts to high-frequency
radio communications on Earth today," according to NOAA. "A coronal mass
ejection (CME) associated with this event is likely, but further analysis is
necessary to determine whether it will produce geomagnetic storming on
Earth. A coronal mass ejection contains billions of tons of energetic
hydrogen and helium ions as well as protons and electrons ejected from the
sun's surface. If a CME occurred, Earth's magnetosphere will likely be
disturbed and a geomagnetic storm could result in the next few days, NOAA
reports. NOAA space weather forecaster Bill Murtagh said that scientists
will know more about when and where the impacts will be when more data comes
in later Wednesday and early Thursday. The flare is on the high end of the
solar flare scale. One nice side effect of the solar storm is an expansion
of the photogenic aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, across Canada and the
northern U.S. The Northern Lights appear when atoms in the Earth's
high-altitude atmosphere collide with energetic charged particles from the
sun. They usually appear as shimmering green waves of light in the
nighttime sky in polar latitudes. Much more rarely, they can be red and
even blue.
