AURORAS UNDERFOOT: Flying the last mission of NASA's 30-year shuttle
program, the crew of Atlantis has witnessed a beautiful display of auroras
from Earth orbit--and there might be more in the offing. Visit
http://spaceweather.com for photos and the geomagnetic forecast.
ASTEROID VESTA: This weekend, NASA's Dawn spacecraft is entering orbit
around Vesta for a year-long study of the giant asteroid. Dawn's cameras are
expected to reveal a primitive world of desolate beauty from close range. As
close as Dawn will be, however, you can be even closer; it's actually
possible to hold a piece of Vesta in your hand. Authentic Vesta meteorites
are now available in the Space Weather Store:

Remember P7 - Proper, Pre-Planning, Prevents, Pathetically, Poor,
Performance.
Believe that curiosity is the key to creativity.
Believe that anything you can imagine,
you can make real.
