SPACE WEATHER ON PLUTO: As NASA's New Horizons spacecraft prepares to buzz Pluto on July 14th, space weather forecasters have released long distance predictions for the distant dwarf planet. A region of merged CMEs could be on the verge of hitting Pluto and compressing its atmosphere, but this is expected to happen well after the flyby. Meanwhile, New Horizons has just taken its best picture of Pluto's farside, which is dotted with mysterious dark spots. Check http://spaceweather.com for more information.
AURORA ALERTS: On July 10th and 11th, a G1-class geomagnetic storm sparked auroras over multiple US states including Michigan, Vermont, Maine, Massachusetts and the Dakotas. Did you miss the display? Next time get a phone call while geomagnetic storms are underway. Aurora alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (phone).
