*GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:* A G1-class geomagnetic storm is 
underway on Dec. 17th as Earth moves into a stream of solar wind. The 
gaseous material is flowing faster than 600 km/s from a hole in the 
sun's atmosphere. G1-class storms are relatively minor and have little 
effect on power grids and satellites. However, they can confuse 
migratory animals that navigate using magnetism at high latitudes and, 
moreover, may spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Tonight's 
nearly new Moon will provide a dark backdrop for Northern Lights. Visit
