DEPARTING SUNSPOT: Big and old, sunspot 988 is approaching the sun's
western limb where it could put on a show as it goes over the horizon.
For the next 24 hours or so, any magnetic filaments springing from
the sunspot's core will appear in glowing relief against the black
void beyond. Readers with solar telescopes, keep an eye on the limb.
