   BRIGHT COMET: This weekend, bright Comet Pan-STARRS is making a close approach   
   to the sun inside the orbit of Mercury where fierce solar heat is helping the   
   comet reach naked-eye visibility. Observers in the northern hemisphere are   
   making their first sightings now as the comet emerges from solar glare low in   
   the western sky after sunset.  Soon, the comet could be widely visible to   
   casual sky watchers--no telescope required.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for   
   images, sky maps and observing tips.   
       
   SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when solar flares are underway?   
   X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and   
   http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
