At 1400UT, June 22, the SEC secondary GOES satellite for magnetometer, X-ray, and electron measurements will change from GOES 10 to GOES 11. GOES 12 will continue as the primary SEC GOES satellite. For energetic proton measurements there is no change; GOES 11 will remain the primary SEC GOES satellite and GOES 10 will remain the secondary. This change is necessary because NOAA will be activating GOES 11 as the operational satellite stationed at 135 degrees West geographic longitude in geosynchronous orbit, replacing the aging GOES 10.

Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future
Gillam, MB, Whitehorse, YT, Yellowknife, NTA lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
The anticipated strong G3 geomagnetic storm watch never materialized as the coronal mass ejection that was supposed to arrive early yesterday didn't arrive until today just past midnight UTC. The impact was very lackluster with the Bt (total strength of the IMF) increasing to a moderate 15nT at best and the solar wind speed reaching just 420km/s. A far cry from the anticipated 700 to 800km/s. That once again goes to show how hard it is to forecast space weather events and any resulting geomagnetic conditions. We remain under the influence of the CME and high latitude sky watchers should remain alert for some nice aurora displays but middle latitude sky watchers will probably have to wait for the next opportunity.
