DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT

Space Weather News for June 10, 2008
http://spaceweather.com

DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT: Space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to undock from the International Space Station on Wednesday morning, June 11th, at 7:42 am EDT. This means many sky watchers will be able to see the two spaceships flying in tandem, separate but closely-spaced points of light, gliding among the stars on Wednesday night. Double flybys will continue on Thursday the 12th and to a lesser extent on Friday the 13th, with Discovery returning to Earth on Saturday. Southeastern parts of the United States (e.g., Miami and Atlanta) are favored with some particularly good apparitions. Check our Simple Flybys tool to find out when you should look: http://spaceweather.com/flybys/

MARSWORM: Meanwhile on Mars, Phoenix has photographed a worm-shaped object near one of its feet. No, it is not a Marsworm. Visit http://spaceweather.com to find out what really lies at Phoenix's feet and to view the latest 3D images from the Red Planet.
