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.
