Space Weather News for Jan. 27, 2016

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.
