SOLAR FARSIDE ACTIVITY: The Earth-facing side of the sun is relatively 
quiet, but the farside is alive with activity.  On Nov. 26th, NASA's twin 
STEREO spacecraft and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) observed 
eruptions from multiple farside blast sites. Visit http://spaceweather.com 
to view movies of these events and for more information about when the 
active regions might turn to face Earth.

RADAR MOON: Earlier this week, the Moon passed through the beam of the US 
Air Force Space Surveillance Radar in Texas.  An electrical engineer in 
Georgia recorded the echo and made a simple image of the Moon based on the 
reflection.  Sights and sounds of the "radar Moon" are featured on today's 
edition of http://spaceweather.com.
