"SOLAR ACTIVITY WATCH: The Sun has been mostly quiet for weeks, but this could soon change. One or more big sunspots are turning toward Earth, raising the possibility of solar flares, geomagnetic storms and auroras in the days and weeks ahead.MORNING STAR: It's not easy waking up at dawn, but this week it's worth doing. Venus, the "morning star," is absolutely brilliant in the eastern sky around sunrise. On July 14th, Venus and the crescent moon will appear side by side--a lovely sight. On July 15th Venus reaches maximum brightness. The planet is delightful to see through a telescope; it looks like a tiny crescent Moon.
