SPACE STATION IN CONSTANT SUNLIGHT:  For the next few days, the 
International Space Station (ISS) will be orbiting Earth in constant 
sunlight.  This sets the stage for a remarkable sky show.  Because the ISS 
is constantly illuminated, it shines brightly in the night sky every single 
time it passes overhead.  Some observers can see the space station 3, 4, 
even 5 times a night.  More information and flybys predictions may be found 
at http://spaceweather.com

ANDROID FLYBYS:  Spaceweather's "Simple Flybys" app is now available for 
Android phones as well as the iPhone and iPad.  Details at

WEEKEND LUNAR ECLIPSE: On Saturday, June 26th, the Moon will pass through 
Earth's shadow, producing a 54% partial lunar eclipse. The event is visible 
from most of the Americas, Australia, Japan, east Asia and all of the 
Pacific Ocean.  For readers in the USA, the best time to look is just before 
sunrise on Saturday morning.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for more
