   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 htt
