MAGNETIC STORM ON A COMET? Everyone knows about geomagnetic storms on
Earth. But did you know that comets can have them, too?  Right now, a type
of magnetic storm may be in progress in the tail of bright Comet Lovejoy
(C/2014 Q2), causing "plasma blobs" and "disconnection
events" visible in amateur telescopes.  Visit http://spaceweather.com
for images and more information.
