   TRANSIT OF MERCURY: On Monday morning, May 9th, Mercury will pass directly   
   between Earth and the sun, producing a rare transit visible from the Americas,   
   Europe, Africa and parts of Asia.  Visit Spaceweather.com for observing tips   
   and links to live webcasts.   
       
   CHANCE OF STORMS: NOAA forecasters say there is a 65% chance of G1-class   
   geomagnetic storms on May 9th when Earth enters a solar wind stream filled   
   with negative-polarity magnetic fields. A display of high-latitude auroras is   
   possible, especially in the southern hemisphere where visibility is improved   
   by darkening autumn skies.

   Today's space weather update is brought to you by the Coca-Cola Space Science
