I have attached a couple of images of
the two great sunspot groups. We'll have to put aluminum foil on our heads for the
next couple of days!

Flashes
Hi
All,
The Martian subearth
and subsolar points are now within one degree of one
another. This means that for the next couple of weeks conditions are favorable
for specular reflections from ice crystal clouds or
surface frosts. These would be most likely to appear in the high southern
latitudes -- 20-25°S. -- and east of the central meridian.
Good hunting!
