DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT:  Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to undock from the 
International Space Station (ISS) on Friday, Feb. 19th, at 7:54 pm EST. 
This sets the stage for a weekend of double flybys.  The ISS and Endeavour 
will be circling Earth in  mutual proximity, streaking through the night sky 
as distinct points of light.  The show will continue until Endeavour lands 
at Kennedy Space Center on Sunday, Feb. 21st, at 10:16 pm EST. Check the 
Simple Satellite Tracker to see if you are favored with an apparition:

NEW AND IMPROVED: SpaceWeather's Satellite Tracker app for the iPhone and 
iPod touch has been improved.  It now predicts flybys worldwide, uses GPS 
location services, and more.  Check it out at http://simpleflybys.com .

GREAT NORTHERN LIGHTS:  This past week, Arctic sky watchers have seen some 
of the best auroras in years.  It's another sign that the sun is coming back 
to life after a long, deep solar minimum.  Recent images may be found in our
