Space Weather News for Jan. 17, 2007

COMET UPDATE: Comet McNaught is emerging from the glare of the sun and, as
expected, solar heating has turned it into a spectacular naked-eye comet.
McNaught is visible from all parts of the Southern Hemisphere, sporting a
curved tail and a head almost as bright as the planet Venus.  Northerners
can watch the comet's progress by browsing daily photo galleries at
http://SpaceWeather.com.  Southerners should go outside tonight at sunset,
look west and see for themselves.

VENUS AND THE MOON:  Mark your calendar. On Saturday evening, January 20th,
the slender crescent Moon will glide by Venus forming a beautiful ensemble
in the western sky at sunset. This is something people in both hemispheres
can enjoy. Hint:  Look for the pair before the sky fades to black. Venus and
the Moon surrounded by twilight-blue is a scene of special beauty.
