We remain at geomagnetic storm conditions as the effects of the coronal mass ejection from an M8 solar flare continue to influence our planet. The coronal mass ejection arrival earlier than expected, yesterday around 05:30 UTC. The north-south direction of the IMF (Bz) has been prolonged southward during the onset of the storm which resulted in G3 and G4 geomagnetic storm conditions. This triggered amazing aurora displays which were visible from southern parts of Australia, New Zealand and even places like Utah in the USA.
A lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Solar activity or if there is a chance to see the aurora, but with more traffic comes higher costs to keep the servers online.
