Storm Warning

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: Geomagnetic storms are possible on July 23rd when a full-halo CME is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. The storm cloud was hurled toward Earth yesterday by a solar tsunami eruption. NOAA forecasters say that G1– to G2-class (minor to moderate) storms are likely with a slight chance of escalating to category G3 (strong).
Exactly what time will the CME hit? This NASA model of the approaching cloud pinpoints the impact within a few hours around 0000 UT on July 23rd:

In the animation, Earth is marked by a yellow dot. Note that Mars, a red dot, also gets hit–a glancing blow on July 25th.
An independent NOAA model of the CME predicts a slightly later arrival, with the densest part of the storm cloud reaching Earth around 0400 UT on July 23rd. Either way, NOAA or NASA, the timing favors sky watchers in western Europe and North America. In the most optimistic case of a G3-category storm, auroras could descend as far south as Illinois and Oregon (geomagnetic latitude 50 degrees) during the night of July 22-23

Weird weather and crustal movements
A huge sinkhole opened up under a swimming pool and swallowed up the entire volume of water and colorful inflatable toys during an outdoor party in Israel, leaving the pool empty as guests dangerously stood around the edge of the hole. Sadly, one person was injured while another body was found inside the pit hours later
