BIG FULL MOON:  This week's full Moon (Oct. 25-26) is the biggest full Moon 
of 2007. It's no illusion. Some full Moons are genuinely larger than others 
and Thursday night's will be as much as 14% wider and 30% brighter than 
lesser full Moons we've seen earlier this year. Check 
http://spaceweather.com for the reasons why.

SPACESHIP SIGHTINGS:  Space shuttle Discovery launched this morning from 
NASA's Kennedy Space Center on a two-week mission to the International Space 
Station (ISS). This means sky watchers should be alert for spaceship flybys 
in the nights ahead.  Both Discovery and ISS will make favorable passes over 
many US cities with the possibility of double flybys later this week when 
the two spacecraft are about to dock.
