LUNAR FLYBY: Tomorrow morning, NASA's LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation and
Sensing Satellite) spacecraft will fly by the Moon and send pictures back to
Earth from only 9000 km above the lunar surface. The purpose of the maneuver
is to put LCROSS in an elongated Earth orbit and position it for impact at
the lunar south pole later this year. Live video streaming of the flyby
begins at approximately 5:20 AM PDT on Tuesday, June 23, 2009.

NEW SUNSPOTS: Since 2007, it has been unusual to see even a single spot on
the sun. Today there are two.  A pair of new-cycle sunspots is emerging in
the sun's southern hemisphere.  This is a good opportunity for readers with
solar telescopes to witness sunspot genesis in action.
