>ISS MARATHON: The 2008 "ISS Marathon" gets underway this week when the 
>International Space Station spends three days (May 21-23) in 
>almost-constant sunlight. Sky watchers in Europe and North America can see 
>the bright spaceship gliding overhead two to four times each night.  The 
>ISS is as bright as Venus or Jupiter, so even people in light-polluted 
>cities can see it.  Please use our new and improved simple Satellite 
>Tracker to find out when to look: http://spaceweather.com/flybys

>SPACE STATION MOVIE: Today's edition of spaceweather.com features a 
>must-see movie of the International Space Station flying over Germany on 
>May 12th.  Although it looks like footage from a satellite or high-powered 
>telescope, the movie was made by an amateur astronomer using a backyard 
>5-inch refractor.  As a result of ongoing construction (every shuttle 
>flight in recent months has added a new piece to the ISS), the space 
>station is now a wide and easy target for amateur-class telescopes.  Catch 
>the show at http://spaceweather.com.
