   CME IMPACT:  A coronal mass ejection (CME) hit Earth's magnetic field on   
   August 5th around 1800 UT, setting the stage for possible geomagnetic storms   
   on August 5th and 6th.  Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab report that   
   the impact may have compressed Earth's magnetosphere enough to directly expose   
   some satellites in geosynchronous orbit to solar wind plasma. High-latitude   
   sky watchers should be alert for auroras after nightfall. Check    
   ttp://spaceweather.com for more information and updates.   
       
   DON'T MISS THE STORM: Would you like a call when geomagnetic storms are in   
   progress? Storm alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text)   
   and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
