Space Weather News for June 10, 2008

DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT: Space shuttle Discovery is scheduled
to undock from the International Space Station on Wednesday
morning, June 11th, at 7:42 am EDT. This means many sky watchers
will be able to see the two spaceships flying in tandem, separate but
closely-spaced points of light, gliding among the stars on Wednesday
night. Double flybys will continue on Thursday the 12th and to a lesser
extent on Friday the 13th, with Discovery returning to Earth on Saturday.
Southeastern parts of the United States (e.g., Miami and Atlanta) are
favored with some particularly good apparitions. Check our Simple
Flybys tool to find out when you should look:

MARSWORM: Meanwhile on Mars, Phoenix has photographed a
worm-shaped object near one of its feet. No, it is not a Marsworm.

feet and to view the latest 3D images from the Red Planet.
