Apparently there was a significant eruption on the sun's surface on Sunday August 1st. This sent tons of matter heading strait toward Earth.

What that means to us here on Earth is it is supposed to produce a fairly decent Aurora - Northern/Southern Light show. It is expected to reach us and peak Tuesday August 3rd/Wednesday August 4th. So if you are out and about, or up late take a peek outside and look to the North if you are in the northern hemisphere. For those of you in the southern hemisphere you would look to the south.


Solar Flare Eruption

These things tend to linger for a few days after they peak. So if you missed any showing you might check the following night or two as well.

This assuming the scientist people accurately got the information and data correct. Sometimes these folks are kind of like the weather forecasters...They usually get it right, but are known to mess up on a regular basis.

I hope you are one of the lucky ones that get a glimpse at this...off I go to investigate with my own eyes!
