   GEOMAGNETIC STORM:  A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress following the   
   impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) today, Sept. 26th, at approximately   
   12:15 UT.  Analysts at the Goddard Space Weather Lab report a "strong   
   compression of Earth's magnetosphere" and the possibility that satellites in   
   geosynchronous orbit have been exposed to solar wind plasma and magnetic   
   fields. Mid- to high-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras after   
   nightfall. Observing tip: The hours around local midnight are usually best for   
   spotting Northern and Southern Lights. Check http://spaceweather.com for   
   images 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)
