A big spot is growing on the sun--again
Space Weather News for May 10, 2005
http://spaceweather.com DEJA VU? A big spot is growing on the sun--again. Today sunspot 758 is almost as wide as the planet Jupiter; two days ago it was sparse and unimpressive. Like sunspot 756 in late April, this new active region reminds us how quickly big sunspots can materialize--even during solar minimum. CRESCENT MOON: Step outside tonight or tomorrow at sunset and look west. You can see a beautifully-slender crescent moon emerging from the twilight. Can you also see a ghostly glow across the Moon's dark terrain? That's Earthshine, which research shows is brightest during northern spring. Visit http://SpaceWeather.com for sky maps, safe solar observing tips, and more information about Earthshine. |
