Glancing Blow Impact
The ACE Spacecraft is showing a minor shock passage just after 15:30 UTC this morning. This is a glancing blow related to the X1.7 solar flare on Jan 27. A geomagnetic sudden impulse at 16:24 UTC measuring 8nT was detected at the Boulder station. Minor geomagnetic activity will be possible at very high latitudes.
