Default Friday night's full Moon is the biggest and brightest full Moon ofthe year

Space Weather News for Jan. 28, 2010
http://spaceweather.com

FULL MOON AND MARS: Friday night's full Moon is the biggest and
brightest full Moon of the year. It's a "perigee Moon," as much as 14%
wider and 30% brighter than other full Moons you'll see later in 2010.
But that's not all. Mars is having a close encounter with Earth, and on
Friday night, Jan. 29th, it will join the Moon for an all-night-long
conjunction. Don't miss it! Sky maps and images may be found at
http://spaceweather.com.

FLYBY ALERT: NASA is preparing to launch space shuttle Endeavour on
Feb. 7th. It's the last night launch of the shuttle program and it
kicks off a 13-day mission to the International Space Station (ISS). You
can follow the ISS and Endeavour as they streak across the night sky
using our new Satellite Flybys app for the iPhone or iPod Touch.
