EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD IS CHANGING: Earth's magnetic field protects us from
stormy space weather and cosmic rays. New data from Europe's SWARM spacecraft
show that our planet's magnetic field is changing.  For instance, in recent
years magnetism over North America has weakened by 3.5%, while Asia has seen
an increase of 2%. Other parts of the world are unsettled as well. Visit
Spaceweather.com for the full story.
 
NOCTILUCENT CLOUDS: Soon, the season for noctilucent clouds over the northern
hemisphere will begin.  A sky watcher in Scotland might have spotted the first
apparition on May 10th.   Electric-blue clouds are highlighted on today's
edition of Spaceweather.com.
 
Don't forget, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook!
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by Dark Sky Vacation Rental, a
