GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream  hit Earth's magnetic field on May 
27-28, sparking a moderate geomagnetic storm  and auroras in both 
hemispheres.  At the time this alert is being composed  (1500 UT on May 28), naked-eye 
Southern Lights are dancing in the skies over  Tasmania and New Zealand.  If 
forecasts are correct, geomagnetic activity  should remain at elevated 
levels for the next 24 to 48 hours. Visit  http://spaceweather.com for updates 
and images of the ongoing  storm.

SOLAR ACTIVITY INTENSIFIES:  The recently-quiet sun is waking  up.  New 
sunspots are emerging across the solar disk, and at least one of  them is 
crackling with C-class solar flares. Even stronger eruptions appear to  be in the 
offing.  If you would like alerts notifying you of solar flares  and 
magnetic storms the instant they happen, please consider signing up for  Space
