Space Weather News for April 2, 2003<br />http://www.spaceweather.com<br /><br /><br />JUPITER: The giant planet Jupiter has been nearing the Beehive Cluster <br />for more than a month.

Visit spaceweather.com for pictures and sky maps.<br /><br /><br />AURORAS: Solar wind streams have buffeted Earth's magnetic field for much<br />of the past week, sparking Northern Lights as far south as Wisconsin and<br />Michigan in the United States. Our growing aurora gallery includes<br />Northern Lights seen from Earth-orbiting satellites, from high-flying<br />airplanes, and even some curious man-made auroras.
