*EARTH DAY AURORA STORM:* Last night, Northern Lights descended into the
United States as far south as Michigan, Minnesota, and Washington, kicking
off an unexpected display of bright auroras for Earth Day. What happened?
A CME that was supposed to miss Earth apparently hit instead, surprising
forecasters. Geomagnetic storms are still underway as April 22nd unfolds;
high-latitude sky watchers should remain alert for midnight auroras on
April 22-23. Visit Spaceweather.com

for updates.
*WEEKEND METEOR SHOWER:* The auroras tonight may be spiced by an occasional
flash of light. Earth is entering a stream of debris from Comet Thatcher,
source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Dark sky observers could see 10
to 20 shooting stars per hour shooting out of the constellation Lyra. Sky
