Space Weather News for April 2, 2016

WEEKEND GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A G1-class geomagnetic storm is underway on April
2nd as Earth enters a fast-moving stream of solar wind. The stream is filled
with "negative polarity" magnetic fields. Such fields can easily link to
Earth's own magnetic field, opening a crack in our planet's defenses against
solar wind. This is why NOAA forecasters offer good odds of continued magnetic
storming--a 60% chance on April 2nd followed by a 55% chance on April 3rd. 
High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend. Visit
Spaceweather.com for more information.
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by Dark Sky Vacation Rental, a
property in northern Arizona where the "seeing" is out of this world.
Telescopes included with every reservation.
