Geomagnetic storms continue to batter us, giving us beautiful auroras.. and other effects, perhaps not so pretty. Add these disruptions to radiation from Fukushima, and you have a recipe for increased stress.
This is the third day in a row that geomagnetic storms have circled the poles. On April 23-24, auroras were spotted in more than a dozen US states includingMichigan, Nebraska, Kansas, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Illinois,Minnesota, and Colorado. In Anchorage, Alaska, even the midnight sun could not completely overwhelm the Northern Lights:
"I didn't think I would get another glimpse of the auroras this season because of the increasing daylight," says photographer Ryan Delos Reyes, "but this was a spectacular show."
More auroras may be in the offing. A minor CME is en route to Earth, due to arrive on April 26th. NOAA forecasters estimate a 20% to 30% chance of geomagnetic storms. Aurora alerts: text, phone.
