Space Weather News for Oct 14, 2003

BRIGHT PLANETS: For months Mars has been the brightest planet in the night
sky. It's still bright, but starting this week Jupiter is even brighter.
Jupiter is easy to find on any morning you might wake up early to get
ready for work or school. Look east around 6 a.m.; you'll see the giant
planet almost halfway up the sky shining like a -1.8th magnitude star.
Even a small telescope will reveal Jupiter's cloud belts and its four
largest satellites: Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.

AURORA WATCH: October is usually a good month for Northern Lights, but
this October has been poor so far. Perhaps a good geomagnetic storm is
due. This week Earth will slip in and out of a solar wind stream flowing
from a coronal hole on the Sun. Sky watchers in places like Alaska, Canada
and US northern border states from Washington to Maine should be alert for
auroras.
