Operation Babylift was the name given to the mass evacuation of children from South Vietnam to the United States and other western countries (including Australia, France, West Germany, and Canada) at the end of the Vietnam War (see also the Fall of Saigon), on April 3–26, 1975. By the final American flight out of South Vietnam, over 3,300 infants and children had been airlifted, although the actual number has been variously reported///

VENUS AND JUPITER CONVERGE: If this were happening in the night sky, it would be headline astronomy news. The two brightest planets, Venus and Jupiter, are converging for a tight conjunction. Tomorrow, they will be just a fraction of a degree apart–like a Christmas star in May. Unfortunately, it's happening in broad daylight:…

The planets are converging next to the sun where the glare is blindingly bright. Only SOHO can see the show. Coronagraphs onboard the spacecraft create an artificial eclipse, revealing stars, planets and CMEs. In addition to Venus and Jupiter, the Pleiades are nearby, too.

There's a good chance the sun will emit a CME during the planets' closest approach on May 23rd. If so, we'll create a movie from the coronagraph frames. Stay tuned!
