   UNEXPECTED GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  Earlier today, the outskirts of a CME   
   previously expected to miss Earth instead hit. The impact sparked a G2-class   
   geomagnetic storm and bright auroras around the Arctic Circle. At the time   
   this alert is being written, the storm is still in progress. Visit   
   Spaceweather.com for updates.   
       
   AVIATION RADIATION EXPERIMENT: En route to observe the March 9th total eclipse   
   in Indonesia, the students of Earth to Sky Calculus conducted an unusual   
   experiment in aviation radiation. Their plane flew a great circle around the   
   Pacific Ocean, skirting the Arctic Circle and crossing the equator in a   
   relatively short period of time. This allowed them to take a snapshot of   
   onboard cosmic radiation doses over a wide range of latitude. Visit   
   Spaceweather.com for results.
