unintentional bubble around our planet, clearing out "killer electrons"
from Earth's radiation belts. Learn more on today's edition of
Spaceweather.com.SOLAR WIND STORM PREDICTED: The solar wind
around Earth is about to speed up. Velocities could top 700 km/s on May

atmosphere reaches our planet. G2-class geomagnetic storms and
high-latitude auroras are possible on May 19th and 20th. Stay tuned to
