I suggest you get all your friends and family to help with that...  Tues currently seems to be sunny only above the cloud level.

As of 5:45 PM central time the CME has not hit yet. I'll post when it does. :D

What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Impact about 11:30 central time. Late and probably slow. NOAA took it off their ENLIL spiral, not something I have seen them do before, it might be very low impact, and not thrilling lights. Hard to say. But definitely slow, over 6 hours later than expected.

Go look if you are north and tell us what you see!
:D

Nope. Looks like NOAA really overpredicted that one. Solar wind will be slowly increasing today,  but it’s not likely to make pretty lights.

Well now, just took some kind of secondary impact. I'm still looking, but the aurora charts are red at this point.
Check the sky!!

Edit: looks like a coronal hole stream impact joined it. I may be wrong, but that's my guess.

A different sky weather this week.  

The Geminid meteor shower - one of the most spectacular in the celestial calendar - is set to peak this weekend and astronomers say conditions could make for an especially striking show if weather permits.



And our land is still blanketed in thick cloud and heavy rain.  Alas

For some reason, i thought this meteor shower was in November.

I saw a shooting star on my way down to the shop and a pretty good aurora on my way back this evening. I do like dark skies!
This is how it looks just now (source)

January 2, 2026 about sundown in the US there's a CME impact coming, so after dinner, go out and look to see if you have lights!  
Plus the moon will be full! It's the Wolf Moon, so howl at it!!  :D

7:35 PM Central   One of the trackers says the CME will hit in 10-15 minutes. Not sure how long it takes the sky to light up...
I'm full overcast, no moon or lights for me.
