Default Auroras tonight

While your shortwave radios are blasting static over the next 48 hours, turn
on the FM radio and listen for distant signals. Look north after sunset Jan
17&18 for northern lights. The latest Kp index as of this morning was 7. See
below for more information.

Two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are heading toward Earth and they could
spark strong geomagnetic storms when they arrive on January 16th-17th. Sky
watchers should be alert for auroras. The CMEs were blasted into space by
M8- and X2-class explosions above giant sunspot 720 on Jan. 15th.
