SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids

COMET SWAN: There's a new comet in the night sky, Comet Swan. It's a trifle too dim for naked-eye viewing, but it is an easy target for binoculars and small telescopes. Observers report a "spectacular" emerald-colored head and a long sinuous tail. Visit SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids for sky maps and more information.

AURORA WATCH: A solar wind stream hit Earth this weekend. The resulting geomagnetic storm was not very strong; nevertheless, auroras were photographed as far south as Wisconsin and Michigan in the United States. Meanwhile, another solar wind stream is coming and may spark a similar display on Oct. 3rd or 4th. Stay tuned to SpaceWeather.com -- News and information about meteor showers, solar flares, auroras, and near-Earth asteroids for photos and forecasts.
