Big Sunspot

[Tugmistress]

BIG SUNSPOT: An impressive sunspot, "NOAA 822," has appeared on the Earth-facing side of the sun. Measured from end to end, it is wider than Jupiter, and it is crackling with M-class (medium-sized) solar flares. So far none of the explosions has hurled a coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Geomagnetic storms and auroras are possible, however, if this 'spot unleashes a major flare in the days ahead.

TAURID FIREBALLS: The Taurid meteor shower, which peaked in early November and should be subsiding, continues to produce fireballs, according to reports submitted to the American Meteor Society. If you're outside at night this week, keep an eye on the sky for bright meteors.

Could there be a good chance of the northern lights in the next few days?

if it throws off a solar flare then yes :D
Could be good timing as we are due to be sat in the middle of a high pressure for a day or three too, so some cold clear nights possibly ;)
