3D SUN:  On Monday, April 23rd, NASA will release for the first time
3-dimensional photos of the sun taken by a pair of spacecraft named STEREO.
Magnetic loops, prominences and plumes will practically leap out of your
computer screen.  These images will be displayed on big screens at many
museums and science centers around the USA and posted on the internet. You
can get ready this weekend by buying or building some 3D glasses.  Visit
http://spaceweather.com for instructions--and stay tuned for Monday!

WEEKEND METEORS:  Earth is entering the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher, and
this will cause a mild meteor shower this weekend.  It's called the Lyrid
meteor shower because the bits of incandescent comet dust appear to come
from the constellation Lyra. The best time to look is during the dark hours
before dawn on Sunday, April 22nd, and Monday, April 23rd, when you can
expect to see a shooting star overhead every 5 minutes or so.
