COMET NEWS: Astronomers are now monitoring more than 30 fragments of dying
comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3, which is approaching Earth for a close
encounter in mid-May. One of the brightest fragments, fragment B, is
splitting in two in plain view of amateur astronomers using backyard
telescopes.   Visit Spaceweather.com for pictures of the breakup, sky maps
and more.

BEAUTIFUL MONDAY MORNING:  Set your alarm. Just before sunrise on Monday,
April 24th, Venus and the crescent Moon will pop over the eastern horizon
beautifully close together. The pair are so bright you can see them even
from brightly-lit cities. This is worth waking up for, and a wonderful way
to begin the day.

SPACE STATION SIGHTINGS:  The International Space Station (ISS) is now
making a series of bright evening flybys of cities and towns in the United
States.  It's easy to see, if you know when to look.  Sign up for
SpaceWeather PHONE (http://spaceweatherphone.com) and we'll call you when
the space station is about to fly over your home town.
