Space Weather News for July 16, 2008

PRETTY SKY ALERT: The brightest lights in the night sky are having a 
get-together.  On July 16th and 17th, Jupiter and the nearly-full Moon will 
be side-by-side in the constellation Sagittarius.  The pair rise in the 
southeast just after nightfall and remain visible all night long. That's not 
all: The International Space Station is making a series of evening passes 
over Europe and North America and it will join Jupiter and the Moon over 
many towns and cities. Check the Simple Satellite Tracker to find out when 
to look: http://spaceweather.com/flybys

COLLIDING STORM UPDATE:  Earlier this month, Jupiter's Little Red Spot got 
caught between two larger storms (the Great Red Spot and Oval BA), and the 
Little Red Spot was destroyed.  Or was it?  New amateur photos of Jupiter 
show that the Little Red Spot may be re-forming.  Not only that, it seems to 
be  drifting back toward the Great Red Spot for a second collision.  Updates 
will be posted on http://spaceweather.com as the storms converge anew
