   POLAR GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Today, March 6th, Earth is entering a stream of solar   
   wind, and the encounter has sparked a G1-class geomagnetic storm. Inside the   
   stream, magnetic fields have a negative polarity--a condition which favors   
   auroras.  High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for Northern Lights.

   AVIATION RADIATION EXPERIMENT: This weekend, Spaceweather.com and the students   
   of Earth to Sky Calculus are flying to Indonesia to observe the March 9th   
   total eclipse.  En route, they are conducting an experiment in aviation   
   radiation. Their flight skirts the Arctic Circle and crosses the equator,   
   allowing them to make cosmic ray measurements over a wide range of latitudes   
   in a relatively short amount of time. Stay tuned to Spaceweather.com to learn   
   the results.
