   NEGATIVE MAGNETIC FIELDS SPARK AURORAS: For the past three days Earth has been   
   passing through a region of interplanetary space filled with negative-polarity   
   magnetic fields. This has caused intermittent geomagnetic storms and beautiful   
   auroras around both poles. Visit http://spaceweather.com for pictures and more   
   information about this phenomenon.   
       
   "SPACE LIGHTNING" SIGHTED OVER THE CARIBBEAN: Sprite season is definitely   
   underway. Only a few days after a widespread display appeared over Texas, more   
   sprites have popped up near Puerto Rico. This time the exotic forms of upper   
   atmospheric electricity were sighted dancing above the sea instead of land.
