Aurora Alert

Mostly overcast in Auckland tonight in theory, but if you're further south and skies are clear, get outside and see if you spot yourself some aurora. A large sunspot on the sun has kicked out the biggest coronal ejection in the last 5 years, which should see some very strong auroral action over the next couple of nights. The moon, of course, is full, which will dull things somewhat.
