Space Weather News for May 7, 2016
http://spaceweather.com
 
TRANSIT OF MERCURY: On Monday morning, May 9th, Mercury will pass directly 
between Earth and the sun, producing a rare transit visible from the Americas, 
Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.  Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips 
and links to live webcasts.
 
CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters say there is a 65% chance of G1-class 
geomagnetic storms on May 9th when Earth enters a solar wind stream filled with 
negative-polarity magnetic fields. A display of high-latitude auroras is 
possible, especially in the southern hemisphere where visibility is improved by 
darkening autumn skies.
 
Don't forget, Spaceweather.com is now on Facebook!
 
Today's space weather update is brought to you by the Coca-Cola Space Science 
Center, which is broadcasting the transit of Mercury live on the Internet from 
Columbus State University in Columbus, Georgia.
