*GEOMAGNETIC STORM:* A solar wind stream hit Earth's magnetic field on
August 5th, sparking a G1-class geomagnetic storm and auroras over several
northern-tier US states. (Subscribers to our space weather alert
system<http://spaceweathertext.com/> were
notified that a storm was in progress.)*MAGNETIC FIELD REVERSAL ON THE SUN:
*It hasn't happened yet, but it's about to. Data from NASA-supported
observatories show that the sun's global magnetic field will flip before
the end of 2013. The reversal, which signals the arrival of Solar Maximum,
will have ripple effects felt throughout the solar system. Get thefull
