LYRID METEOR SHOWER: Earth is entering a stream of dusty debris from Comet 
Thatcher, source of the annual Lyrid meteor shower. Forecasters expect the 
shower to peak on April 22nd with as many as 20 meteors per hour, although 
visibility will be reduced by bright moonlight. The best time to look, no 
matter where you live, is Friday morning during the hours before local dawn.

BIG SUNSPOTS: This week the sun is dotted with several large spots, a 
situation that will become increasingly common as Solar Cycle 24 
intensifies.  Our new White Light Solar Observing System allows you to 
safely monitor these behemoth sources of solar activity.  Click here for
