   A 9TH PLANET BEYOND PLUTO? Today, planetary scientists from Caltech announced   
   intriguing new evidence for a Neptune-sized planet orbiting the sun beyond   
   Pluto.  The planet itself has not yet been seen, but its gravitational   
   influence on other objects in the outer solar system may lead to its   
   discovery. Visit Spaceweather.com for more information.   
       
   SOLAR ECLIPSE BALLOON NETWORK: Spaceweather.com and the students of Earth to   
   Sky Calculus have developed a balloon payload that can photograph solar   
   eclipses from the stratosphere. This sets the stage for an ambitious   
   experiment: We plan to launch more than a dozen balloons into the path of   
   totality of the Great American Eclipse in August 2017 to create a unique video   
   portrait of an eclipse sweeping across the USA. Visit today's edition of   
   Spaceweather.com to learn more about the Solar Eclipse Balloon Network and how   
   you can get involved.   
       
   Today's space weather update is brought to you by the students of Earth to Sky   
   Calculus, who are flying Valentine's Cards to the edge of space and selling   
   them to support their research program. For less than the cost of a bouquet of   
   roses, you can give a truly far-out gift on Feb. 14th.
