Space Weather News for March 21, 2009

ISS GETS NEW WINGS: The International Space Station's solar arrays are the
largest deployable space assemblies ever built. Yesterday, astronauts
unfurled a pair on the starboard side of the outpost, adding more than 8000
sq. feet of light-collecting surface area to the station's profile. Hours
after the new wings were deployed, the ISS flew over Europe where amateur
astronomers photographed the changes. Their movies and photos are featured
on today's edition of http://spaceweather.com.
SOLAR CONJUNCTION OF JUPITER'S MOONS: Another must-see movie comes from
NASA's STEREO-B spacecraft. On March 15th and 16th, the solar observatory
watched Jupiter and its moons converge on the sun just as a coronal mass
ejection was exploding "overhead." Visit http://spaceweather.com for
footage.
