   "SPACE LIGHTNING" SHOOTS OUT OF HURRICANE MATTHEW: Hurricane Matthew,   
   currently crossing the Carribean, is not a typical storm.  It's one of the   
   most powerful hurricanes of recent years and it has sprites dancing along its   
   cloudtops. Sprites are an exotic form of lightning that shoots up toward the   
   edge of space instead of down toward the ground. Visit Spaceweather.com to see   
   beautiful photos of Hurricane Matthew's "space lightning."   
       
   BACKYARD ASTRONOMY ALERT: When the sun goes down on Monday, Oct. 3rd, step   
   outside and look west.  If you have a clear view of the horizon, you'll see   
   Venus and the exquisitely slender crescent Moon side by side in the sunset   
   sky. Visit Spaceweather.com for sky maps and photos.   
       
   [...]   
   Above: The crescent Moon will pass Venus low in the sunset sky on Oct. 3rd.
