Original Message Just after 19:00 UTC today the ACE Spacecraft began showing an increase in proton density, and a spike of 73.8 p/cc was measured at 19:23 UTC. This spike signaled the onset of a multi wave CME that was unleashed on January 19, 2012 during an M3.2 LDE flare that began at approximately 13:45 UTC from Sunspot Region 1402.

Here we can see the CME as it was released on the 19th as captured by both Stereo A and B COR2 telescopes.

NASA predicted the arrival and duration for the CME waves as follows.

Here is a short 50 sec.video that shows how a CME interacts with Earth’s magnetic field when it arrives.

Here is another video , this one explaines the effects that CMEs have on the Earth.
