   SOLAR TRANSIT: A photographer in France has caught China's experimental space   
   station, the Tiangong-1, passing directly in front of the sun.  The photo   
   shows the winged spacecraft backlit by hot plasma as it flits across the solar   
   disk in the neighborhood of giant sunspot AR1476.  Check it out on today's   
   edition of http://spaceweather.com.   
      
   TIANGONG-1 SIGHTINGS:  The Tiangong-1 is much smaller than the International   
   Space Station.  Nevertheless, it can be seen with the naked eye shining in the   
   night sky as brightly as the stars of the Big Dipper.  Download the Simple
