M9 solar flare to hit Tuesday (1/24/2012)

You already know this, because you've read this blog and know that Spaceweather.com is the only source you need to go to, in order to read about upcoming solar flares.

It's too bad the forecast for Tuesday is rain, rain, rain in Portland, because the flare will be coming on the heels of a lower-rated flare from last Friday, and could end up making for a nice show. 


You can already see from NASA's auroral oval that there is great activity right now, even before the flare is expected to hit.

So if you're somewhere where the skies are clear, and you're above 40° latitude, maybe you should poke your head outside on Tuesday evening?
