SOLAR TRANSIT: A photographer in France has caught China's experimental 
space station, the Tiangong-1, passing directly in front of the sun.  The 
photo shows the winged spacecraft backlit by hot plasma as it flits across 
the solar disk in the neighborhood of giant sunspot AR1476.  Check it out on 
today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.

TIANGONG-1 SIGHTINGS:  The Tiangong-1 is much smaller than the International 
Space Station.  Nevertheless, it can be seen with the naked eye shining in 
the night sky as brightly as the stars of the Big Dipper.  Download the
