DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT:  Space shuttle Endeavour undocked from the International 
Space Station this morning, and the two spacecraft are now orbiting Earth in 
tandem.  Endeavour is scheduled to land in Florida on Sunday, Nov. 30th. 
Between now and then, many sky watchers (especially those in Europe) will be 
able to see the shuttle and the space station cutting across the night sky 
together--a rare and beautiful "double flyby."  Get predictions for your

SPECTACULAR CONJUNCTION:  When the sun goes down tonight, step outside and 
look southwest.  You'll see something very pretty: Venus and Jupiter beaming 
together through the twilight.  The two closely-spaced planets are about to 
be joined by the slender crescent Moon for a spectacular three-way 
conjunction that arguably ranks as the best sky show of 2008. Check 
http://spaceweather.com for sky maps, photos--and be sure to keep an eye on 
the sky in the evenings ahead.
