[MIham] Fat sunspot, slender Moon

DEJA VU?  A big spot is growing on the sun--again.  Today sunspot 758 is
almost as wide as the planet Jupiter; two days ago it was sparse and
unimpressive.  Like sunspot 756 in late April, this new active region
reminds us how quickly big sunspots can materialize--even during solar
minimum.

CRESCENT MOON: Step outside tonight or tomorrow at sunset and look west. You
can see a beautifully-slender crescent moon emerging from the twilight. Can
you also see a ghostly glow across the Moon's dark terrain? That's
Earthshine, which research shows is brightest during northern spring.

more information about Earthshine.
