Space Weather News for August 2, 2002

An unexpected geomagnetic storm began on Thursday, August 1st, as night
fell across North America. Sky watchers who happened to be outdoors
spotted vivid auroras over both the United States and Canada.  Some of
their photos are lovely--you can see them at Spaceweather.com. Earth's
magnetic field is quieting now, although high-latitude activity remains
possible on Friday night, August 2nd.
