Hey Folks, Just thought you might like to know that the sun has had two coronal mass ejections in the past two days, and there is very good chance of seeing some aurora this weekend when it hits. Especially because the Earth's magnetic field is kind of weak right now. Also, the Perseid meteor shower is expected to peak at before dawn on August 12, at 30-50 meteors per hour. Too bad for me that I am stuck in overcast seattle this weekend.
