A HEXAGON ON SATURN: The Cassini spacecraft has photographed a bizarre
geometrical figure encircling Saturn's north pole: a hexagon. NASA
scientists say they've never seen anything like it on any other planet.

The formation of the giant hexagon is a mystery you can ponder tonight under
the stars.  After sunset on March 28th, Saturn rises in the east beautifully
close to the Moon.  This makes Saturn easy to find and enjoy. Even a small
telescope will reveal the planet's broad rings and largest moons.  Take a
look!

ASTEROID FLYBY:  Asteroid 2006 VV2 is due to fly past Earth on March 30th
and 31st. The 2 km-wide space rock will streak through the constellation Leo
only 2 million miles away glowing like a 9th-to-10th magnitude star.
Backyard telescopes equipped with CCD cameras should have no trouble filming
the asteroid in flight. Visit http://spaceweather.com for ephemerides and
more information.
