Space Weather News for Nov. 27, 2002, 0000 UT

A solar coronal mass ejection (CME) swept past Earth at approximately
21:50 UT (4:50 p.m. EST) on Tuesday, Nov. 26th, and triggered an ongoing
geomagnetic storm. When the CME arrived, the interplanetary magnetic field
near Earth tilted south--a condition that favors Northern Lights. Sky
watchers in northern Europe, Canada and northern US states (where night is
falling as the geomagnetic storm intensifies) should therefore be alert
for auroras. Visit SpaceWeather.com for more information and updates.
