    3. Space Weather News for Nov. 24, 2001 http://www.spaceweather.com Did you see strange lights in the sky before dawn on Saturday? If so, you were probably watching an outbreak of auroras. A pair of fast-moving coronal mass ejections, arriving somewhat earlier than expected, buffeted Earth's magnetic field on Nov. 24th at 0530 UT (12:30 a.m. EST). The resulting geomagnetic storm spawned Northern Lights as far south as Arkansas in the United States. Although the ongoing storm will probably subside during the hours ahead, high-latitude sky watchers (including those along the northern tier of US states) should remain alert for auroras Saturday night and Sunday morning.
