Forecasters at NOAA have issued a rare Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch for the first time since 2005.
A spectacular aurora is likely Friday night and into the weekend.
It's possible that satellite communications and power systems could be affected.

Our tope satellite tag continues to drift, now 130km from the French coastline. Any assistance on it's recovery would be greatly appreciated 🙏
Our first tope satellite tag has popped off 150km from Brest, France! Anyone out that way?🦈🙏#trackingnotslacking

This is spreading false information, possibly or probably purposely.
The probable cause of the stranding has been stated in a press release.
Those of us who were there are exhausted both physically and mentally, no-one wants false news spread about the incident

More than 200 passengers on board the British Airways flight BA1318 from Heathrow to Aberdeen were diverted to Liverpool late last night.
They had to leave the plane at 1.30am with no transport or accommodation sorted for them.
