Weak CME could give us a glancing blow
Yes, a sign of life from your SpaceWeatherLive staff! It has been a very quiet space weather period the past few weeks with pretty much no geomagnetic or solar events worth mentioning. We did reach the minor G1 geomagnetic storm levels briefly 2 weeks ago but that was nothing too spectacular. Our Sun is even more quiet: its been almost 3 months ago since we last had an M-class solar flare and the last C-class solar flare was also a solid 3 weeks ago. Does that mean you are reading a news article without any news? Not exactly as a possibly interesting eruption took place yesterday that could give us some aurora in a few days from now.
