TRANSIT OF VENUS: The historic 2012 Transit of Venus commences today, 
June 5th, at 3:09 pm Pacific Daylight Time (22:09 UT). Spaceweather.com 
is covering the event with observing tips, a real-time photo gallery, 
and links to live webcasts from around the world.  Extraordinary photos 
of Venus taken during the hours leading up to the transit are also 
featured on today's edition ofhttp://spaceweather.com .

SOLAR WIND:  A stream of high-speed solar wind is buffeting Earth's 
magnetic field, stirring geomagnetic activity around the poles.  NOAA 
forecasters estimate a better-than-even chance of high-latitude 
geomagnetic storms during the next 24 hours.  Aurora alerts are 
available fromhttp://spaceweathertext.com (text) and
