Default AURORA WATCH: On Sept. 6th, a day before the asteroid flyby

Space Weather News for Sept. 4, 2014
http://spaceweather.com


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).

What does Spaceweather do its diagrams with, a Windows 3.1 graphical program?
