SUMMERTIME AURORAS: As expected, a high-speed stream of solar wind (with a CME
embedded in the flow) hit Earth's magnetic field during the late hours of Aug.
2nd.  The resulting G1-class geomagnetic storm sparked bright auroras across
countries in Europe as well as several northern-tier US states.  The show
might not be over. NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of similar storms on
August 3rd as Earth continues to feel the effects of the solar wind.  Visit
