Space Weather News for Dec. 6, 2015
http://spaceweather.com
 
DAYTIME OCCULTATION OF VENUS: On Monday, Dec. 7th, sky watchers in North 
America can see the Moon pass in front of Venus in broad daylight--no telescope 
required. Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips and more information.
 
SOLAR WIND SPARKS AURORAS: Earth is entering a stream of solar wind flowing 
from a broad coronal hole on the sun.  In response, auroras are dancing around 
the Arctic Circle.  More lights are in the offing as Earth moves deeper into 
the stream.  NOAA forecasters estimate a 55% chance of polar geomagnetic storms 
on Dec. 7th and 8th. Aurora alerts are available from 
http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
