    Space Weather News for Oct. 30, 2003
    http://spaceweather.com

    A severe geomagnetic storm is in progress on Oct. 30th. It began at
    approximately 1700 UT when a coronal mass ejection (CME) struck our
    planet's magnetic field--the second such impact in as many days. The CME
    was hurled toward Earth yesterday by an X10-class explosion from giant
    sunspot 486. Sky watchers at all latitudes should be alert for auroras
    after local nightfall.
