   MAGNETIC STORM ON A COMET? Everyone knows about geomagnetic storms on Earth.   
   But did you know that comets can have them, too?  Right now, a type of   
   magnetic storm may be in progress in the tail of bright Comet Lovejoy (C/2014   
   Q2), causing "plasma blobs" and "disconnection events" visible in amateur   
   telescopes.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for images and more information.   
       
   GEOMAGNETIC STORM ALERTS:  A strong geomagnetic storm on Jan. 7th took   
   forecasters by surprise. Subscribers to our Space Weather Alert Service were
