   AURORAS UNDERFOOT: Flying the last mission of NASA's 30-year shuttle program,   
   the crew of Atlantis has witnessed a beautiful display of auroras from Earth   
   orbit--and there might be more in the offing.  Visit http://spaceweather.com   
   for photos and the geomagnetic forecast.   
       
   ASTEROID VESTA: This weekend, NASA's Dawn spacecraft is entering orbit around   
   Vesta for a year-long study of the giant asteroid. Dawn's cameras are expected   
   to reveal a primitive world of desolate beauty from close range. As close as   
   Dawn will be, however, you can be even closer; it's actually possible to hold   
   a piece of Vesta in your hand. Authentic Vesta meteorites are now available in   
   the Space Weather Store:
