EARLY GEMINIDS: Earth is entering a stream of debris from "rock
comet" 3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower.  The
shower is not expected to peak until Dec. 14th, but NASA meteor cameras are
detecting Geminid fireballs over the USA two weeks early.  Visit
http://spaceweather.com for images and updates.
 
AURORA WATCH:  A high-speed solar wind stream is buffeting Earth's magnetic
field on Dec. 1-2.  High-latitude sky watchers, especially those around the
Arctic Circle, should be alert for auroras in the nights ahead. 
Geomagnetic storm alerts are available from  http://spaceweathertext.com
