Upon seeing the headline down below, the first thing I did is visit spaceweather to see the following: GEOMAGNETIC UNREST: Earths polar magnetic field is unsettled, causing polar skies to turn green. For the third time in four days our group experienced a light show that was out of this world, reports aurora tour guide Chad Blakley from Swedens Abisko National Park. Last night, after several hours of stormy weather the clouds parted like curtains on a stage allowing us to see some of the strongest auroras of the season. The ongoing display is a result of our planets response to the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). The IMF has tipped south, slightly, just enough to open a crack in Earths magnetosphere. Solar wind is leaking in to fuel the auroras. If the next six months are anything like September we are going to have an amazing aurora season, says Blakely. The nights ahead could be amazing too. NOAA forecasters estimate a 35% to 40% chance of polar geomagnetic storms from Sept. 30th through Oct. 2nd. Now we shall view the link. https://youtube/watch?v=kwLIjw_fjCo
