Aurora Alert for April 1 and 2

A powerful X-flare emitted by the sun on March 29 is scheduled to give earth a glancing blow on the nights of April 1 and 2. There is a 60% chance of auroras being produced by it, according to spaceweather.com. These auroras should only be visible from higher latitudes, so Israel will probably not experience any. Still, it's worth going outside to check. We will!

Here is a short video of the X-flare, a coronal mass ejection (CME) as recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO).
