Space Weather News for Sept. 18, 2006

SOLAR ECLIPSE: On Friday, Sept. 22nd, the Moon's shadow will cut across
Earth, producing an annular ("ring of fire") solar eclipse.  Unfortunately,
most of the eclipse takes place over uninhabited ocean, but sky watchers in
South America and Africa will be able to see at least a fraction of the
display. Visit http://spaceweather.com for timetables and animated maps of
the eclipse.

SPACESHIP SILHOUETTES:  The space shuttle Atlantis undocked from the
International Space Station yesterday.  In a moment of cosmic coincidence,
an amateur astronomer in France caught the two spacecraft separating just as
they passed in front of the sun.  His unusual photo, entitled "Spaceship
Silhouettes", may be found on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
