   SOLAR SAIL FLASHES: NASA's Nanosail-D, the first solar sail to orbit Earth, is   
   flashing as it glides through the night sky.  Observers in Europe report   
   luminous peaks as bright as a 1st magnitude star.  The irregular period of the   
   flashes suggests that the sail might be tumbling, although no one is certain   
   at this moment what is causing the phenomenon.  Sky watchers are encouraged to   
   check the Simple Satellite Tracker for local flyby times and watch this unique   
   spacecraft strobe overhead: http://spaceweather.com/flybys   
       
   DON'T FORGET THE SPACE SHUTTLE:  Meanwhile, space shuttle Endeavour and the   
   ISS are putting on a show of their own.  The docked spacecraft are making a   
   series of brilliant dawn flybys over North America and Europe, providing early   
   risers with a chance to see Endeavour one last time before it returns to Earth   
   for retirement. Tracking them is easy; just use your cell phone:
