If the skies are clear this weekend, there is an unusual occurrance to look for...

"May 13, 2010: This weekend, Venus and the crescent Moon are gathering in the western sky for a spectacular conjunction, and they're not alone. The International Space Station and, very likely, space shuttle Atlantis will join them for a rare four-way meeting of spaceships and planets over many locations."

This is not a photo of the conjunction. This is a double flyby of the ISS and space shuttle Discovery over Lumby, British Columbia, Canada, on April 20, 2010. Photo credit: Yuichi Takasaka.

If the sky is clear where you live, get out in the dark and spend some staring at something other than a screen for goodness sake.
