look as they are fairly rare. The link below from John shows what you what they
look like.

> NIGHT-SHINING CLOUDS: On June 16th, a remarkably intense display of
electric-blue noctilucent clouds (NLCs) swept across Europe. Sightings were made
in Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Poland and the British
Isles. These mysterious clouds are known to flourish during years of solar
minimum--and 2009 is such a year.  This means more NLCs may be in the offing,
not only over Europe but also North America and elsewhere. Check
http://spaceweather .com for images, movies, and observing tips.

> THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING SUNSPOTS:  The sun is in the pits of the deepest
solar minimum in nearly a century. Where have all the sunspots gone? Scientists
studying a jet stream deep inside the sun may have found the answer. Find the
