DOUBLE SPACESHIP FLYBYS:  Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to undock
from the International Space Station on Monday, August 20th.  If that
happens as planned, sky watchers across North America may be able to witness
something rare and beautiful: a double-spaceship transit across the night
sky. US cities favored for flybys on Aug. 20th or 21st include Atlanta,
Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York and Phoenix.  The
space station and shuttle will appear as separate, bright points of light
moving in tandem.  Flyby times depend on where you live. Subscribers to
Spaceweather PHONE (http://spaceweatherphone.com) will receive phone and
email alerts when the pair are about to appear.  Flyby timetables are also
available from Heavens Above (http://heavens-above.com).

BONUS: The International Space Station is under construction, and with each
new addition the sprawling complex becomes easier to see from the ground.
To the naked eye, the space station now resembles a super-bright star
gliding slowly across the sky.  Backyard telescopes reveal much more: solar
panels, laboratories and living modules, a robotic arm and docked supply
vessels. Photos and videos are featured on this weekend's edition of
