Space Weather News for Feb. 15, 2003

Earth is entering a solar wind stream that could trigger auroras this
weekend. Sky watchers at high-latitudes (e.g., Canada, Alaska and northern
US states) will be favored for the best views. Anyone, however, will be
able to see a lovely close encounter between the full Moon and Jupiter on
Saturday night. Then, on Sunday, Comet NEAT will enter the field of view
of SOHO coronagraphs as it plunges toward the Sun.  Visit spaceweather.com
for more information, pictures and sky maps.
