Another thing to see for yourself are the recent changes in the north
polar region. There is a small, bright feature, which is not the polar
cap, rather, it is ground frost that has been forming. It appeared this
morning as a brighter part of the limb haze that has been a prominent
feature on the "non-gibbous" limb since we've been looking.
