*GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:* A G1-class geomagnetic storm is 
underway on Jan 14th as Earth enters a stream of fast-moving solar wind. 
G1-class storms are relatively minor and have little effect on 
satellites or global power grids. However, they can confuse migratory 
animals that navigate using magnetism at high latitudes and, moreover, 
may spark bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. Visit
