    Space Weather News for Sept. 27, 2003

    SPRAWLING SUNSPOT: There's a remarkable spot on the sun this weekend. The
    active region, called sunspot 464, is about as wide as fifteen planet
    Earths lined up in a row. This means it's easy to see, but never look
    directly at the sun without suitable eye protection. Visit
    spaceweather.com for observing tips and pictures.

    WATCH OUT FOR ZODIACAL LIGHTS: This is a good time of year for people in
    the northern hemisphere to look for early-morning Zodiacal Lights. Also
    known as the "false dawn" because they resemble a hint of sunrise,
    Zodiacal Lights appear an hour or so before true dawn--a pale luminous
    triangle jutting upward from the eastern horizon. Look for them on dark
    mornings after a new moon (the next few days are ideal); rural areas with
    clear skies offer the best view.
