Active region 11389 – CME Impact / Solar Watch Dec 29, 2011 (Video)

New active active region 11389 rotated into view off the south-eastern limb on Wednesday. This region is crackling with C-Class flares, the largest being a C7.2 today.
Strong CME impact was detected by the ACE Spacecraft Thursday morning. A possible geomagnetic storm may be in progress.
The auroral ovals show strong agitation from impacts of Coronal Mass Ejection’s (CMEs) the last 6 hours, those at high latitudes should be on alert for auroras.

I will be interested to see the level of aurora generated at the weekend, and also intrigued as to whether we will have any high magnitude tremors around the planet.
