Space Weather News for Oct. 2, 2002
http://www.spaceweather.com
A solar wind stream buffeted Earth's magnetic field on Monday, Oct. 31st,
and triggered a strong geomagnetic storm. Sky watchers spotted colorful
auroras all the way from the Bering Sea to Arizona. The interplanetary
magnetic field near Earth is still pointing south, which weakens our
planet's magnetic defenses against solar wind gusts. As a result, more
auroras are possible on Tuesday, Oct. 2nd. Visit spaceweather.com for
updates and for pictures of the Oct. 1st Northern Lights.
