   DRACONID METEOR WATCH: Earth is about to pass through a stream of debris from   
   comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner, source of the annual Draconid meteor shower.  Last   
   year, Europeans witnessed a faint but furious outburst of 600 meteors per hour   
   when the shower peaked.  No such display is expected this year, but the   
   Draconids are notoriously unpredictable.  Northern-hemisphere sky watchers   
   should be alert for slow-moving meteors emerging from the head of the   
   constellation Draco the Dragon (not far from the North Star) on Sunday night,   
   Oct 7th, through Monday morning Oct. 8th. Check http://spaceweather.com for   
   more information and updates.   
       
   INCOMING CME:  A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading for Earth.  The   
   incoming cloud is expected to deliver a glancing blow to our planet's   
   magnetosphere on October 8th, possibly sparking auroras at high latitudes.   
   Would you like a phone call when the CME arrives?  Geomagnetic storm alerts   
   are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http:/   
   spaceweatherphone.com (voice).   
       
   Don't just watch meteors, wear them.  Authentic meteorite jewelry is available   
   in the Space Weather Store:  http://www.shopspaceweather.com
