   ASTEROID DOUBLE FLYBY:  On Sept. 7th, a newly discovered asteroid about the   
   size of a large grey whale flew over the south pole of Earth only 25,000 miles   
   away. For scale, that's only a few thousand miles above the orbits of typical   
   geosynchronous satellites. After the Earth flyby, the space rock turned and   
   headed in the general direction of the Moon, executing a wider flyby of   
   179,000 miles on Sept. 8th. Where will this asteroid go next? Visit

   BRIGHT AURORAS:  A broad solar wind stream hit Earth on Sept. 1st, sparking a   
   display of bright auroras around the Arctic Circle that is only now fully   
   subsiding.  Did you miss it?  Browse our Aurora Photo Gallery for highlights.
