COMET NEWS: Astronomers are now monitoring more than 30 fragments of dying comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3, which is approaching Earth for a close encounter in mid-May. One of the brightest fragments, fragment B, is splitting in two in plain view of amateur astronomers using backyard telescopes. Visit Spaceweather.com for pictures of the breakup, sky maps and more.

BEAUTIFUL MONDAY MORNING: Set your alarm. Just before sunrise on Monday, April 24th, Venus and the crescent Moon will pop over the eastern horizon beautifully close together. The pair are so bright you can see them even from brightly-lit cities. This is worth waking up for, and a wonderful way to begin the day.

SPACE STATION SIGHTINGS: The International Space Station (ISS) is now making a series of bright evening flybys of cities and towns in the United States. It’s easy to see, if you know when to look.
