Update: my prediction time was far too late, as the CME has just swept past the ACE spacecraft about 2 hours ago (~1530 UTC, 9/12/2014).

Really great to watch this unfold in real-time on that aggregated data site, solarham.com. Definitely the strongest event I've ever caught "live".

Expect some nice Aurora tonight, especially in Northern Europe and northeast to north-central North America. Hopefully they're still around by the time Alaska rotates past the terminator line.
