NORTHERN LIGHTS IN THE USA: On Saturday, April 11th, a coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth’s magnetic field. The impact caused a G2-class geomagnetic storm and, for the first time this year, ignited auroras over the continental United States. “The lights were bright enough to produce a reflection from the surface of Lake Superior,” says photographer Shawn Malone, who recorded the scene from a beach in Marquette, Michigan:

I wonder if all this Sun Activity is causing the surge in Global Earthquakes as well as the Huge Volcanic Eruption that happened again in Iceland today....

Does this mean I won’t have to send my check to the IRS?

CME’s are rated by letter:

A-M, A being small, and M being large.

A few years back there was a X class CME (previously thought to be SO LARGE as to not exist.) that went the other way from the earth. We all dodged a bullet on that one...

I wonder what size this CME was?

In a related development the IPCC announced the Sun's CME was caused by man-made climate change as documented in a “peer reviewed” paper they found wrapped in a piece of Bazooka Bubble Gum . . . .

One of the biggest prominences in years

Since the Sun has been unusually quiet for an extended period, it's also one of the only prominences in years.

“...35% chance of polar geomagnetic activity when the CME arrives.”

Watch it screw up all computers at the IRS and we all get a refund for 2009.

Just posted this thread. When I saw it on Drudge, it made me think of the CME we discussed yesterday. Don’t know if they are related or not.
