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
