In this episode we take a look at the past week of geomagnetic activity, host James Pugsley provides an update on how to locate Venus, Mars and the Andromeda galaxy in the northern sky. Plus, Andromeda is featured in the Kp3 Video of the Week entitled "How Far Away Is It – Andromeda and the Local Group", a great weekend watch if you're looking for some galactic perspective, produced and narrated by David Butler. And, last but not least, we come back down to Earth to discuss the weekend aurora forecast for communities across Northern Canada and Alaska.

The all-new Kp3 Podcast on Astronomynorth.com explores the frontiers of geospace and all things aurora. Hosted by James Pugsley, Kp3 features weekend aurora forecasts for Northern Canada and Alaska, solar cycle and geomagnetic storm updates, app reviews, media alerts, photography, special guests and all sorts of conversations about the nature, culture and wonder of Canada's northern sky.
