Spelling corrected
Looks like someone corrected the spelling of Kaguya in the title of the blurb. But they still missed a typo: "starting" should be "started" near the middle of the blurb.

Kayuga vs Kaguya
I noticed the nickname of the lunar satellite (Kaguya) is misspelled in the the title of the blurb. Must have been written by a Twilight Zone fan. Referring to Cayuga Productions.

Fire Rainbow?
Today, April Fool's Day, I got an email asking me if I've "ever seen a fire rainbow". This is supposedly the "rarest of all naturally occurring atmospheric phenomena". Is there such a thing? Google "fire rainbow" for urban legends info. Only Snopes mentions it, and says...

That's it. You found it. And I remember reading about the "light echoes". Thanx for tracking down that information.

Hubble Top Ten
Has anyone got that "Hubble Top 10" email with 10 astrophotos reportedly from the HST? There's one in there labelled "Starry Night". It's a nebula I've never seen before... and I can't find it anywhere else. Is it real?

Infrared light is light, yes? Maybe that's what it's referring to.
