A significant coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to arrive tonight at 2300 EST, potentially allowing auroras to be visible as far south as the Midwestern United States. Observers in northern locations are currently reporting clear skies but have not yet seen any auroras. There is a suggestion to wait until the predicted time for visibility, as conditions may change. Additionally, users are encouraged to follow a related thread for updates on solar activity that can help predict aurora occurrences. The excitement around tonight's event highlights the interest in solar weather and its effects on aurora visibility.

The clock face shows twelve images of the Moon in all its main phases, with the Full Moon depicted at the "twelve o'clock" position. Now I purchased this clock especially early to allow time to check on its accuracy. After waiting for a full lunar orbit to occur, I have since discovered that the clock time when measured relative to its lunar images (that's to...
