Fat sunspot, slender Moon

DEJA VU?  A big spot is growing on the sun--again.  Today sunspot 758 is almost as wide as the planet Jupiter; two days ago it was sparse and unimpressive.  Like sunspot 756 in
late April, this new active region reminds us how quickly big sunspots can materialize--even during solar minimum.  

CRESCENT MOON: Step outside tonight or tomorrow at sunset and look west. You can see a beautifully-slender crescent moon emerging from the twilight. Can you also see a ghostly
glow across the Moon's dark terrain? That's Earthshine, which research shows is brightest during northern spring.

...cloudy skies at the moment though. :/
