AURORA WARNING: A solar wind shock wave swept past Earth on Sept. 7th at
approximately 1630 UT (12:30 EST). The interplanetary magnetic field
turned sharply south when the wave arrived, which means a geomagnetic
storm is likely. Sky watchers in New Zealand and southern Australia, where
it was nighttime when the shock wave struck, have a good chance of seeing
Southern Lights.  Observers in northern Europe, and perhaps Canada and
northern US states, might see Northern lights after local nightfall on
Saturday.  Stay tuned to spaceweather for updates.
