GEMINID METEOR SHOWER:  Earth is entering a stream of debris from "rock comet" 
3200 Phaethon, source of the annual Geminid meteor shower.  Last night, NASA 
cameras recorded more than a dozen fireballs over the USA. Geminid activity 
should remain relatively high for the next three or four nights, with a peak 
expected on Dec. 13-14.  Check http://spaceweather.com for more information and

GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  On Dec. 7th, a solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic 
field, sparking an unexpected geomagnetic storm and Northern Lights over 
several US states. Did you miss it?  Auroras alerts are available from
