GROUND CURRENTS IN NORWAY: Last night (Sept. 1-2), a monitoring station in Lofoten, Norway, detected a brief but strong surge of electrical currents running through the soil. This could be a sign that Earth crossed through a fold in the heliospheric current sheet--also known as a "solar sector boundary crossing." The crossing sets the stage for possible geomagnetic storms later today when a high-speed solar wind stream is expected to arrive, further disturbing the geomagnetic field. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras on Sept. 2-3.
