    GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A minor geomagnetic storm is in progress on April 11-12, and this is sparking bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. A family of "aurora addicts" traveling through Boden, Sweden, took this picture of the display: The cause of the storm is a fluctuation in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). During the late hours of April 11th, the IMF tipped south, opening a crack in Earth's magnetosphere. Solar wind poured in to fuel the auroras. As April 12th begins, solar wind conditions remain favorable for Northern Lights. NOAA forecasters estimate a 40% chance of continued polar geomagnetic storms during the next 24 hours. http://www.spaceweather.com
