FIRST AURORAS OF THE NEW YEAR: A CME strike on New Year's Eve has sparked a
moderately strong geomagnetic storm (happening now) and the first auroras of
2016. High-latitude sky watchers are reporting bright auroras in both
hemispheres as Earth moves through the strongly magnetized wake of the CME.
NOAA forecasters say there is a 75% chance that the storms will continue
through Jan. 1st, subsiding to 45% on Jan. 2nd.  Visit Spaceweather.com for
images and updates.
 
Realtime geomagnetic storm alerts are available from Spaceweathertext.com
(text) and Spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by Iceland Photo Tours,
offering Winter Aurora Photo Workshops set in scenic Ice Caves and the famous
Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon.
