Space Weather News for July 12, 2015

SPACE WEATHER ON PLUTO: As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft prepares to buzz 
Pluto on July 14th, space weather forecasters have released long distance 
predictions for the distant dwarf planet.  A region of merged CMEs could be on 
the verge of hitting Pluto and compressing its atmosphere, but this is expected 
to happen well after the flyby. Meanwhile, New Horizons has just taken its best 
picture of Pluto's farside, which is dotted with mysterious dark spots.  Check 
http://spaceweather.com for more information.
 
AURORA ALERTS:  On July 10th and 11th, a G1-class geomagnetic storm sparked 
auroras over multiple US states including Michigan, Vermont, Maine, 
Massachusetts and the Dakotas.  Did you miss the display?  Next time get a 
phone call while geomagnetic storms are underway.  Aurora alerts are available 
from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com
