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.

Space Weather Alert Service were notified by phone  moments after the CME
hit and they received constant updates as the storm intensified.  Sign up
