AURORA WATCH: Sky watchers, be alert for auroras. A coronal mass
ejection (CME) is expected to brush past Earth tonight, sparking
a mild geomagnetic storm. The display will probably favor high
latitudes--e.g., Scandinavia, Canada and Alaska--but it could
descend as well to northern-tier US states such as Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Why the alert? Skywatchers should welcome the blast. Even if they didn't
know about it,
a sudden auroral display is awesome. Alert and WARNING are very
inappropriate words. Try
something like ATTENTION: or EXTRA EXTRA..read all about it...

Why the alert? Anyone skywatching would be glad to see them even if they
didn't know about a flaring.
Anyone doing astrophotos wouldn't want it however. It would wreck the
exposure.
