January 2005 Aurora Gallery back to spaceweather.com Summary: On January 7th, the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) near Earth tipped south, sparking a brief but strong geomagnetic storm. Activity increased again on Jan. 17th when a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetc field. The CME was hurled into space by an X-flare from giant sunspot 720.

There were two massive X-Class Solar Flares in the past 24 hours. One was blasted 180 degrees away from the earth. A major geomagnetic storm (solar winds) is scheduled to hit the earth on January 23rd.

Watch for an increase in earthquake and/or volcanic activity on or about the 23rd.
