   SPACECRAFT GOES INTO LUNAR ORBIT: Among a select few allowed to work during   
   the US government shutdown, controllers for NASA's Lunar Atmosphere and Dust   
   Environment Explorer (LADEE) fired the spacecraft's engines this morning, Oct.   
   6th, slowing it enough to be captured by lunar gravity.  LADEE is now in   
   orbit.  Soon, the spacecraft will begin its mission to study the Moon's exotic   
   and diaphanous atmosphere, which is mightily affected by space weather. For   
   more information about this development, plus new color images of incoming   
   Comet ISON, visit http://spaceweather.com.
