 ANOTHER BACKWARD SUNSPOT: Evidence continues to mount that the next solar
cycle is beginning. When one solar cycle gives way to another, the magnetic
poles of sunspots reverse polarity.  For the second time in less than a
month, such a "backward sunspot" has appeared--and this time it's a big one.

 MORNING PLANETS:  If you find yourself awake before dawn this weekend,
either Saturday or Sunday, dash outside and look east.  Venus and Saturn are
having a close encounter. The two planets will be stationed just
half-a-degree apart in the rosy glow of the rising sun. Suggestion: Take
your binoculars out with you. Venus is intense, but Saturn is easily lost in
the brightening dawn. Binoculars help, and both planets can be seen at once
through typical optics. Visit http://spaceweather.com for sky maps.
