To: SpaceWeather.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: SpaceWeather.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Space Weather News for June 9, 2002 http://www.spaceweather.com SOLAR BLAST: The ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory recorded an unusually beautiful eruption on the Sun today. The giant "prominence" was bigger than 50 planet Earths from end to end. Visit SpaceWeather.com and see for yourself. Also, DON'T FORGET THE SOLAR ECLIPSE! Across much of North America on Monday, June 10th, the setting Sun will become a strange-looking crescent when the Moon glides in front of our star. Follow the links at SpaceWeather.com for more information, including eclipse-safe observing tips. WARNING: Never stare directly at the Sun. And never, ever look at the Sun through an unfiltered telescope. Even during an eclipse the Sun can damage your eyes. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 10 Jun 2002 08:08:02 -0500 From: Gleason Sackmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RESOUR> [netsites] Children's Home Connection From: "Alan S.
