A third, much faster coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to catch up with the two observed on 18 and 19 June bringing them all to Earth in close succession by the UTC day of 22 June 2015. The CME was associated with an R1-Minor flare event observed at 0142 UTC (9:21 pm ET) from Sunspot Region 12371 located near center disk. A G3-Strong Geomagnetic Storm Watch has been issued for 22 June as well as a G2-Moderate Watch for 23 June as the CMEs make their way past Earth. These Watches supersede all prior forecasts. Stay tuned to the website to see how the activity unfolds!

Oliver, you're skirting the boundaries of Fansomeland. Be very careful, he doesn't like people on his turf or in his skirts.

Well this is sub-optimal. How am I supposed to hear the daily news from Dear Leader?

I hear that, for redundancy, they have a tin can and string network. Maybe try that.  ;D

Pigment,
Thank you for the heads up.It was not my intention to get on anyone's turf with this post.

@Fansome,
I hope you are indulgent on this one.
Maybe PM me so I avoid such boundary crossings in the future and get a better understanding of our individual playground boundarys.

Thank you!

Don't sweat it, Ollie. I've been trying to figure Fansome out since the 90's. I'm as perplexed now as I was then.
