>At a huge family reunion we had back in August, my 23-year-old nephew brought along his solar telescope. I was hoping we'd have a sunny weekend because I've seen those cool sun photos on spaceweather.com and I was looking forward to seeing them for real. Unfortunately, it was overcast all weekend and we never got to use Ben's telescope. Darn!

If you get a chance you must try it. I'm an astronomy buff and I was very impressed.
