> STRANGE SUNSPOT:  A strange-looking sunspot is emerging on the sun.  It's 
> shaped like a ring almost three times wider than Earth.  Amateur 
> astronomers with solar telescopes are encouraged to monitor this curious 
> apparition. It may be little more than a novelty--but its definitely worth 
> watching.
>
> ALIGNMENT OF PLANETS:  Mark your calendar. On Dec. 8th through 11th, 
> Jupiter, Mercury and Mars will form a tight triangle in the eastern sky at 
> dawn.  All three will fit together in the field of view of ordinary 
> binoculars. (Mars is dim enough that binoculars may be required to see 
> it.) Of special note is the morning of Dec. 10th when Jupiter and Mercury 
> converge within 0.25 degrees of one another.  The close, bright pair will 
> be visible to the unaided eye--a fabulous sight in the rosy glow of 
> sunrise.
