   GEOMAGNETIC STORM: A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on May   
   27-28, sparking a moderate geomagnetic storm and auroras in both hemispheres.    
   At the time this alert is being composed (1500 UT on May 28), naked-eye   
   Southern Lights are dancing in the skies over Tasmania and New Zealand.  If   
   forecasts are correct, geomagnetic activity should remain at elevated levels   
   for the next 24 to 48 hours. Visit http://spaceweather.com for updates and   
   images of the ongoing storm.   
       
   SOLAR ACTIVITY INTENSIFIES:  The recently-quiet sun is waking up.  New   
   sunspots are emerging across the solar disk, and at least one of them is   
   crackling with C-class solar flares. Even stronger eruptions appear to be in   
   the offing.  If you would like alerts notifying you of solar flares and   
   magnetic storms the instant they happen, please consider signing up for Space
