    Space Weather News for March 17, 2003
    http://www.spaceweather.com

    Geomagnetic activity intensified to moderate levels on March 17th,
    improving the chances for Northern and Southern Lights. High-latitude sky
    watchers in places like New Zealand, southern Australia, Alaska, Canada
    and northern US states such as Michigan and Minnesota should remain alert
    for auroras.

    Earth has been inside a high-speed solar wind stream flowing from a
    coronal hole on the Sun since March 14th. The coronal hole is a large one,
    and solar wind gusts could continue to buffet our planet's magnetic field
    for several more days.

    Visit spaceweather.com for movies and images of ongoing geomagnetic
    activity.
