ARCTIC ECLIPSE: On March 20th, the first day of northern spring, Arctic sky
watchers could witness something rare and wonderful:  Northern Lights during a
total eclipse of the sun.  Earth's magnetic field is reverberating from a CME
strike on March 17th that sparked the strongest geomagnetic storm of the
current solar cycle.  Days after the impact, auroras are still dancing around
the Arctic Circle.  Those auroras could emerge in "broad daylight" this Friday
when the new Moon passes in front of the Arctic sun, producing a total eclipse
visible from Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, and many ships at sea.  Visit
http://spaceweather.com for a preview and updates during the eclipse.

Weather Alert Service were notified by phone  moments after the CME hit and
