GEOMAGNETIC MEGASTORM: Northern Lights swept over Cuba and Hawaii. Telegraph
offices
caught fire. Earth's magnetic field shook for nearly a week. That's what
happened 150
years ago today when our planet experienced a shocking "geomagnetic megastorm."
Could it
happen again? Today's story on http://spaceweather.com explores the
possibilities.
VANISHING MOONS OF JUPITER: Tonight, Sept. 2nd and 3rd, for the first time in
many years,
the moons of Jupiter are going to disappear. At least that's how it will seem
when Io,
Europa, Ganymede and Callisto line up in front of and behind the giant planet. A
casual
look through a backyard telescope will show no moons at all. The 2-hour
vanishing act
begins at 9:43 p.m PDT on Sept. 2nd (4:43 UT on Sept. 3rd). Check
