ARCTIC ECLIPSE: On
March 20th,
the first day of northern spring, Arctic sky watchers could witness
something rare and wonderful: Northern Lights during a total eclipse of
the sun. Earth's magnetic field is reverberating from a CME strike on
March 17th that sparked the strongest geomagnetic storm of the current
solar cycle. Days after the impact, auroras are still dancing around
the Arctic Circle. Those auroras could emerge in "broad daylight"
this Friday
when the new Moon passes in front of the Arctic sun, producing a total
eclipse visible from Svalbard, the Faroe Islands, and many ships at
sea.
