Space Weather News for July 21, 2011

FINAL ACT: Space shuttle Atlantis landed in Florida this morning, bringing an end to NASA's 30-year shuttle program.  Just 21 minutes before the de-orbit burn, a photographer in Germany snapped what may be the last-ever photo of a shuttle in space.  He caught Atlantis transiting the face of the sun, silhouetted against a backdrop of solar fire in conjunction with nearby sunspot AR1254.

AURORA WATCH: A fast stream of solar wind is buffeting Earth's magnetic field on July 21st.   High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras, especially in the southern hemisphere where night skies are winter-dark.  Aurora alerts are available from http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice) or http://spaceweathertext.com (text).
