[gse-aa] Aurora Alert (cont. 3)

[Charles Deehr]

Region 0696 on the sun continues to be active, with two large events in the
last 24 hours.  The latter of these events is very fast (2000 km/s) and the
effects should reach Earth early on the 11th of November, GMT.

The Earth's magnetic field continues to be disturbed by these events and we
should expect to see maximum auroral activity through the 12th.

Look for aurora from a dark place with a view of the poleward horizon at
half hour intervals throughout the night with the largest activity expected
at your local midnight.
