BIG STORM ON SATURN: Got a telescope for Christmas? Point it at Saturn. A 
giant storm even brighter than Saturn's rings is raging through the planet's 
cloudtops. Amateur images and sky maps are featured on today's edition of 
http://spaceweather.com.

GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS: At the time this alert is being written 
(mid-day UT on Dec. 28), a polar geomagnetic storm is in progress 
(Kindex=5).  Observers report electric currents in the ground and 
intensifying Northern Lights over Scandinavia. High-latitude sky watchers 
should be alert for auroras: http://spaceweathertext.com .
