"SPACE LIGHTNING" SHOOTS OUT OF HURRICANE MATTHEW: Hurricane
Matthew, currently crossing the Carribean, is not a typical storm.  It's
one of the most powerful hurricanes of recent years and it has sprites
dancing along its cloudtops. Sprites are an exotic form of lightning that
shoots up toward the edge of space instead of down toward the ground. Visit
Spaceweather.com to see beautiful photos of Hurricane Matthew's "space
lightning."
 
BACKYARD ASTRONOMY ALERT: When the sun goes down on Monday, Oct. 3rd, step
outside and look west.  If you have a clear view of the horizon, you'll see
Venus and the exquisitely slender crescent Moon side by side in the sunset
sky. Visit Spaceweather.com for sky maps and photos.

Above: The crescent Moon will pass Venus low in the sunset sky on Oct. 3rd.
