Space Weather News for 18 May 2008

ISS MARATHON: The 2008 "ISS Marathon" gets underway this week when the
International Space Station spends three days (May 21-23) in almost-constant
sunlight. Sky watchers in Europe and North America can see the bright
spaceship gliding overhead two to four times each night.  The ISS is as
bright as Venus or Jupiter, so even people in light-polluted cities can see
it.  Please use our new and improved simple Satellite Tracker to find out
when to look: http://spaceweather.com/flybys

SPACE STATION MOVIE: Today's edition of spaceweather.com features a must-see
movie of the International Space Station flying over Germany on May 12th.
Although it looks like footage from a satellite or high-powered telescope,
the movie was made by an amateur astronomer using a backyard 5-inch
refractor.  As a result of ongoing construction (every shuttle flight in
recent months has added a new piece to the ISS), the space station is now a
wide and easy target for amateur-class telescopes.  Catch the show at
