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:

Performance.

Believe that curiosity is the key to creativity.
Believe that anything you can imagine,
you can make real.
