GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field during the early hours of April 30th, sparking a G1-class geomagnetic storm.  Northern Lights descended as far south as Michigan in the United States.  High-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for auroras (

TRACK THE SPACE SHUTTLE:  Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to lift off from the Kennedy Space Center on Monday, May 2nd, on a two-week mission to the International Space Station.  The shuttle and station will make many visible passes over Europe and North America during the mission--the trick is knowing when to look.  You can turn your cell phone into a field tested shuttle tracker by downloading our Simple Flybys app.  Details at
