Space Weather News for Dec. 6, 2014

SPACE RADIATION:  According to a new study just published in the research 
journal Space Weather, astronauts face a growing peril from space radiation. 
Rising fluxes of cosmic rays inside the solar system place increasingly strict 
limits on the amount of time explorers can safely travel through interplanetary 
space.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for more information and links to the 
complete study.
 
AURORA WATCH:  Arctic sky watchers should be alert for auroras this weekend. 
Earth is passing through a fast-moving stream of solar wind, and this is 
causing geomagnetic unrest around the poles. Geomagnetic storm alerts are 
available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and 
http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
