Impact CME march-8-2012 on earth and Mars

The models also predict that the leading edge of the first CME will reach

Earth at about 1:25 AM EST on the morning of March 8 (plus or minus

7 hours). Such a CME could result in a severe geomagnetic storm,

causing aurora at low latitudes, with possible disruption to high frequency

radio communication, global positioning systems (GPS), and power grids.
