Halloween Aurora Show: Solar Storm Forecast 10-31-2017
An ominous dark coronal hole rotates into the Earth-strike zone this week and sends us some fast solar wind just in time for Halloween. Aurora photographers might get a treat as early as tonight at high latitudes through the end of the week. Amateur radio fares less well this week but solar flux should rise again next week boosting radio propagation. See details of the coming storm, catch up on aurora pics from recent solar storming, and see what else the Sun has in store this week.

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use.
Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
