CONJUNCTION: When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look
southeast. You'll see Jupiter and the waxing gibbous Moon rising
together in the constellation Virgo, only couple of degrees apart. If
possible, try to catch the tight pair before the sky fades completely
black. The sight of these two bright celestial bodies framed by
twilight blue is beautiful indeed. Sky maps and photos @

STAR WARS DAY CME: On May the 4th (Star Wars
Day), unstable magnetic fields in the sun's atmosphere shifted and
hurled a CME into space. The cloud's velocity was relatively low, and
it might take 6 whole days to cross the sun-Earth divide. NOAA
forecasters expect the CME to arrive on May 10th, possibly causing
geomagnetic activity around the poles. Stay tuned to
