MAGNETIC STORM ON A COMET? Everyone knows about geomagnetic storms on Earth.
But did you know that comets can have them, too?  Right now, a type of
magnetic storm may be in progress in the tail of bright Comet Lovejoy (C/2014
Q2), causing "plasma blobs" and "disconnection events" visible in amateur
telescopes.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for images and more information.
 
GEOMAGNETIC STORM ALERTS:  A strong geomagnetic storm on Jan. 7th took
forecasters by surprise. Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service were
notified while the storm was in progress.  If you would like to join the group
of people who never miss a geomagnetic storm, you may sign up for the alerts
