[MIham] Blue Moon Alert

[FSK]

Space Weather News for Oct. 2, 2004
http://spaceweather.com

VENUS AND REGULUS: Prepare to wake up early: Just before sunrise on
Sunday, Oct. 3rd, the planet Venus and the bright star Regulus will be
beautifully close together in the eastern sky--only 1/5 of one degree
apart.  It's a real treat for early risers.

BLUE MOON ALERT: Mount St. Helens in Washington is spewing ash and steam,
and scientists say a bigger eruption could happen soon. This means sky
watchers in western North America should be alert for blue moons in the
weeks ahead. Airborne particles from volcanoes can act like a
color-filter, shading the moon (or even the sun) blue. Follow the links at
spaceweather.com for more information.

SOLAR ACTIVITY:  For the second straight week, solar activity remains low.
Bright auroras are unlikely in the nights ahead.
