Magnetosphere White Hot right now. 3/12/12 7 AM est - The M6 CME is impacting the Earth right now.

I went outside to see if there were Auroras here in Tennessee due to how, White hot the magnetosphere is showing it is at the moment.  There are clouds so I can not see if there are Auroras happening this far south.




Look outside right now, if you can and see Auroras where you are.

Site to see the magnetosphere.
