Welcome to S&T's Skywatcher's Bulletin. More information on the items

AURORA ALERT

A coronal mass ejection (CME) is en route to the Earth. The impact of this
disturbance is expected to occur during the early evening hours of January
21st (Wednesday night). Auroral activity could intensify to moderately
strong levels, and North America is well positioned to observe much of the
activity.

This aurora alert will remain in place for about 48 hours, so the
possibility is good that auroras may also be visible Thursday night.

Updates may be posted on the Solar Terrestrial Dispatch Web site under the
heading "Astro Alert News."
