Space Weather News for Nov. 1, 2015

GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: A high-speed stream of solar wind is about to hit
Earth's magnetic field, prompting NOAA forecasters to estimate an 85% to 90%
chance of geomagnetic storms on Nov. 2-3.  This is the same 800 km/s stream
that lashed Earth's magnetic field in early October, sparking strong
geomagnetic storms and bright auroras over northern-tier US states.  Visit

TAURID FIREBALLS: The annual Taurid meteor shower is underway and it is
lighting up the midnight sky with bright fireballs. Taurid meteoroids are
gravelly pieces of debris from Comet Encke that strike our planet's atmosphere
at 70,000 mph.  They pose no danger to people on the ground as they
disintegrate entirely high above Earth's surface every few hours.  If
forecasters are correct, the display could continue until Nov. 10th.  Tune
into Space Weather Radio for live radar echoes.
