HARVEST MOON:  This weekend's full Moon has a special name--the Harvest 
Moon. It's the full Moon closest to the northern autumnal equinox. In years 
past, farmers depended on the light of the Harvest Moon to gather ripening 
crops late into the night. Post-Edison, we appreciate it mainly for its 
beauty. Be alert in the nights ahead for Harvest Moon halos, coronas and 
'dogs. Visit http://spaceweather.com for example and more information.

AURORA WATCH:  Around the Arctic Circle, moonlight will compete with 
Northern Lights.  A solar wind stream flowing from a coronal hole on the sun 
is due to hit Earth on Sept. 13th or 14th, possibly sparking high-latitude 
geomagnetic storms.  Sky watchers from Alaska to Scandinavia should be alert 
for auroras.
