GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  
 
A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of  
April 30th, sparking a G1-class geomagnetic storm.  Northern Lights  
descended as far south as Michigan in the United States.  High-latitude sky  
watchers should remain alert for auroras tonight as the solar wind continues to  
blow.  
 
Photos of the April 30th display are highlighted on today's edition of

TRACK THE SPACE SHUTTLE:  Space shuttle  Endeavour is scheduled to lift off 
from the Kennedy Space Center on Monday, May  2nd, on a two-week mission to 
the International Space Station.  The shuttle  and station will make many 
visible passes over Europe and North  America during the mission--the trick 
is knowing when to look.
