MAJOR FIREBALL EVENT: Two nights ago, a ~100 lb meteoroid traveling 53,000
mph hit the atmosphere over the southeastern USA and exploded, producing
sonic booms and a fireball as bright as a full Moon. Researchers are
now scouring the countryside for fragments that could reveal the nature
and origin of the meteoroid. A movie, more information, and updates are
available on http://spaceweather.com.

WEEKEND AURORA WATCH: A solar wind stream is expected to hit Earth's magnetic
field on August 30-31. The impact could produce minor geomagnetic storms
and auroras at high latitudes. Geomagnetic storm alerts are available
from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com
