   ASTEROID FLYBY:  On Sunday, Sept. 7th, a house-sized asteroid  named "2014 RC"   
   will fly through the Earth-Moon system approximately 40,000 km from our   
   planet. At closest approach,  the space rock will be almost inside the orbit   
   of Earth's geosynchronous satellites.  Amateur astronomers, especially those   
   in the southern hemisphere, may be able to observe the flyby. Check   
   http://spaceweather.com for more information.   
       
   AURORA WATCH: On Sept. 6th, a day before the asteroid flyby, a  CME is   
   expected to deliver a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field, setting the   
   stage for a nice display of high-latitude auroras.  Geomagnetic storm alerts   
   are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http:/   
   spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
