Subject: A new morning star; Nov. 11th aurora watch
MORNING PLANETS: The planet Venus, which crossed from one side of the Sun
to the other on Nov. 1st, is now a bright morning "star." Look for it
hanging low in the eastern sky just before dawn. Now that Venus has
emerged from the glare of the Sun, you can see four planets before local
sunrise: Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Visit spaceweather.com for sky
maps and for pictures of Venus, which looks like a thin crescent through
amateur telescopes.
AURORA WATCH: On Nov. 9th, an M4-class explosion near sunspot 180 hurled a
lopsided coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Sky watchers should be alert
for auroras on Nov. 11th or 12th when the cloud sweeps past our planet.
