Two interesting space tidbits

From SpaceWeather.com:

ZODIACAL LIGHTS: When the sun does down tonight and the glow of sunset fades away, another glow will take its place–the Zodiacal Lights. If you live in the northern hemisphere, this is the best time of year to see them. They stretch upward from the western horizon forming a pale luminous triangle visible from places with dark skies. Zodiacal Lights are faint but pretty, and worth a trip to the countryside to see.

MEANWHILE ON JUPITER things are getting weird. Two anti-cyclones are bumping into Jupiter’s new red spot, “Red Jr.” Together, the trio strangely resemble Mickey Mouse.
