Spaceweather Phone

*I'll have to show my husband this.    There are 2 plans.  You can listen to samples of what the alerts sound like.  Dr. Philips has a pleasant voice and enunciates well; he sounds like a professional speaker (a plus). 

Will notify the subscriber (depending on which package you choose, if not both) of aurora activity (impending or current), alignment of planets, when the ISS will be flying over your vicinity, geomagnetic storms, sunspots, etc. 

Should you miss the phone call (sans answering machine), and bonus feature is e-mail notification as well.

This is really cool.
