>
> Material from a coronal mass ejection that left the Sun on May 8 is
> expected to pass by our planet late on May 11 or early May 12.  Depending
> on the characteristics of the magnetic field within the disturbance, it
> could trigger minor geomagnetic storms on Earth.  There is a slim chance of
> aurorae at mid-latitudes, but auroral activity will more likely be
> concentrated over high latitude regions including northern Europe, Canada
> and Alaska.
