Space Weather News for June 30, 2009

VOLCANIC SUNSETS: The Russian volcano that erupted directly beneath the
International Space Station on June 12th is now causing beautiful lavender
sunsets across parts of the northern USA and Europe. A plume of ash and sulfur
dioxide from the Sarychev Peak eruption is circulating through the stratosphere,
and when parts of the plume pass over an area at sunset, the sky fills with
delicate white ripples, sometimes-colorful streamers, and a telltale hue of
purple. Check today's edition for observing tips and a photo gallery.
