AURORA ALERT: A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading toward Earth. It was hurled into space on May 13th (1650 UT) by an M8-class explosion near sunspot 759. Sky watchers should be alert for auroras when the cloud arrives, probably after nightfall on Saturday, May 14th.

This i am getting really excited about!!! This CME is very big and could display some amazing Auroras. The cloud is expected to hit some time after nightfall tonight and it couldnt be better for me!. Dont take your eye of the sky tonight as this could really be an event not to be missed!!!! Im sure there will be some great photos 2moro

There are some small whispy clouds here, hopefully, they'll go away as the evening comes.
