  COSMIC RAYS IN THE ATMOSPHERE: Newly-released measurements by high-altitude  
  balloons show that cosmic rays in Earth's atmosphere are intensifying.  The  
  ongoing increase, which has been tracked since early 2015, will likely  
  accelerate in the months and years ahead as the solar cycle swings away from  
  Solar Max. This result is of interest to everyone from mountain climbers and  
  air travelers to operators of high-altitude drones. Visit Spaceweather.com  
  for  
  more information.  
    
  MORNING SKY SHOW: The five brightest planets in the solar system have lined  
  up  
  in the morning sky for a naked-eye display of rare beauty.  In a few days,  
  the  
  Moon will begin to hop from planet to planet, acting as a helpful guide to  
  novice sky watchers.  Check Spaceweather.com for dates and sky maps.
