THE DESCENT OF PHOENIX: When NASA's Phoenix probe parachuted to Mars last
Sunday, a pair of other spacecraft were orbiting high overhead, watching and
listening.  While NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter snapped some
jaw-dropping photos of Phoenix's plunge to the surface, Europe's Mars
Express orbiter recorded Phoenix's radio transmissions.  The eerie-sounding
tones have just been beamed back to Earth and you can listen to them by
following the links at today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

CARTWHEEL CME:  Imagine a billion-ton cloud of gas launching itself off the
surface of the sun and then ... doing a cartwheel. That's exactly what
happened on April 9, 2008, when a coronal mass ejection pirouetted over the
sun's limb in full view of an international fleet of spacecraft. The
cartwheel set off a chain of events that amazed even veteran solar
physicists.  The full story, and a spectacular movie of a second cartwheel
recorded just last week, may be found at http://spaceweather.com .
