Dear Space Fans,

The shuttle Discovery is due to leave the ISS shortly, meaning over the next few days you should be able to see them flying together through the stars.

The Evening Sky on 10th March 2009

Space fans,

Time to find a planet. In the evening sky you'll see the almost Full Moon rising over in the east/south-east direction. There is a fairly bright star close by, above and to the left of the Moon - this is the planet Saturn.

Starry Skies,
