> ISS GETS NEW WINGS: The International Space Station's solar arrays are the 
> largest deployable space assemblies ever built. Yesterday, astronauts 
> unfurled a pair on the starboard side of the outpost, adding more than 
> 8000 sq. feet of light-collecting surface area to the station's profile. 
> Hours after the new wings were deployed, the ISS flew over Europe where 
> amateur astronomers photographed the changes.  Their movies and photos are 
> featured on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
>
> SOLAR CONJUNCTION OF JUPITER'S MOONS:  Another must-see movie comes from 
> NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft.  On March 15th and 16th, the solar observatory 
> watched Jupiter and its moons converge on the sun just as a coronal mass 
> ejection was exploding "overhead."  Visit http://spaceweather.com for 
> footage.
