    Space Weather News for Oct. 27, 2003
    http://spaceweather.com

    Giant sunspots 484 and 486 remain visible on the sun, posing a continued
    threat for X-class solar explosions. Indeed, on Sunday, Oct. 26th, there
    were two such blasts--one from each sunspot. The explosions hurled coronal
    mass ejections (CMEs) into space and somewhat toward Earth.

    Because of these events, sky watchers should be alert for auroras during
    the nights ahead. High-latitude sites such as Alaska, Canada and US
    northern border states from Maine to Washington are favored, as usual, but
    auroras could descend to lower latitudes as well. Forecasters estimate a
    25% chance of severe geomagnetic storming when the incoming CMEs sweep
    past Earth and deliver (probably glancing) blows to our planet's magnetic
    field.
