Space Weather News for Sept. 27, 2003
http://spaceweather.com

SPRAWLING SUNSPOT: There's a remarkable spot on the sun this weekend. The
active region, called sunspot 464, is about as wide as fifteen planet
Earths lined up in a row.  This means it's easy to see, but never look
directly at the sun without suitable eye protection.  Visit
spaceweather.com for observing tips and pictures.

WATCH OUT FOR ZODIACAL LIGHTS: This is a good time of year for people in
the northern hemisphere to look for early-morning Zodiacal Lights. Also
known as the "false dawn" because they resemble a hint of sunrise,
Zodiacal Lights appear an hour or so before true dawn--a pale luminous
triangle jutting upward from the eastern horizon. Look for them on dark
mornings after a new moon (the next few days are ideal); rural areas with
clear skies offer the best view.
