TRANSIT OF MERCURY: On Monday morning, May 9th, Mercury will pass directly
between Earth and the sun, producing a rare transit visible from the Americas,
Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.  Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips
and links to live webcasts.
 
CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters say there is a 65% chance of G1-class
geomagnetic storms on May 9th when Earth enters a solar wind stream filled
with negative-polarity magnetic fields. A display of high-latitude auroras is
possible, especially in the southern hemisphere where visibility is improved
by darkening autumn skies.
 
Don't forget, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook!
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by the Coca-Cola Space Science
Center, which is broadcasting the transit of Mercury live on the Internet from
Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia.
