              night (Sept. 2nd) in North Pole, Alaska, the sky turned green. "I 
              didn't expect to see any Northern Lights, but there they were," 
              says Bud Kuenzli, who opened the shutter of his <A href="http://www.spaceweather.com/xtra/results_canon.php?searchTerm=Canon%20EOS%201D">Canon

              bigger show in the nights ahead. A solar wind stream is approaching 
              Earth, due to hit late on Sept. 3rd or Sept. 4th. High-latitude 
              sky watchers should <A href="http://spaceweatherphone.com">be alert</A> 
              for auroras.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/20696EF1-3286-4D14-9842-AD98F810811D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
