GEOMAGNETIC STORM WARNING: A high-speed stream of solar wind is about to 
hit Earth's magnetic field, prompting NOAA forecasters to estimate an 
85% to 90% chance of geomagnetic storms on Nov. 2-3. This is the same 
800 km/s stream that lashed Earth's magnetic field in early October, 
sparking strong geomagnetic storms and bright auroras over northern-tier 
US states.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.

TAURID FIREBALLS: The annual Taurid meteor shower is underway and it is 
lighting up the midnight sky with bright fireballs. Taurid meteoroids 
are gravelly pieces of debris from Comet Encke that strike our planet's 
atmosphere at 70,000 mph.  They pose no danger to people on the ground 
as they disintegrate entirely high above Earth's surface every few 
hours.  If forecasters are correct, the display could continue until 
Nov. 10th.  Tune into Space Weather Radio for live radar echoes.
