CME impact was a little after 1 AM UT, and the storm is expected to ;last out the rest of today. Most effected is the Eastern Hemisphere, including parts of Alaska. Auroras were excited this morning, particularly noted for the Aurora Borealis, with reported sightings as far south as northern Florida.
This SOHO coronagraph image was captured at 12:18 UT, showing the coronal mass ejection of Oct. 28th billowing directly toward Earth.

The impact can be seen here (I hope it works -- it did in the preview, but then my PC already knew what it was looking for). The model takes a while to set up, and involves 120 separate gif images (00:00 thru 02:00 UT), so be patient. It will also take a while to step through them on the first run, but once the gifs are loaded, they will repeat much faster, giving you a moving pic of the impact.
If the above did not work, I‘m pissed -- but you can create your own Bowshock model here, at hermes.spasci.com. Fun to create models for other events as well.
Cheers, all,
Dan
