Space Weather News for Dec. 2, 2015
http://spaceweather.com
 
SPACECRAFT TO BUZZ EARTH: Japan's Hayabasa 2 spacecraft will buzz Earth on Dec. 
3rd in a slingshot maneuver designed to propel it to Asteroid Ryugu. Hayabasa 2 
is an amazing mission which, if all goes as planned, will drop as many as four 
landers on the asteroid and return samples of the space rock to Earth for 
analysis. The mission, and observing tips for amateur astronomers, are 
highlighted on today's edition of Spaceweather.com.
 
QUIET SUN: Solar activity is low, and likely to remain so for the next 3 days.  
NOAA forecasters estimate a scant 5% chance of M-class flares on Dec. 2nd/3rd 
waning to no more than 1% on Dec. 4th. Stay tuned for quiet.
 
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by Explore the Arctic, an aurora 
and nature tour guide service based in Tromso, Norway, offering unforgettable 
adventures with a personal touch.
