ISS: please don't squeeze the Charmin'

Space Weather News for June 1, 2008

ICY MARTIAN 3D: NASA's Phoenix Mars Lander may have already found ice at its landing site without even digging for it. Exhaust from the lander's descent engine appears to have swept aside a layer of topsoil, exposing frozen material beneath.

Today's edition of SpaceWeather shows images of the find along with some eye-popping stereo views of the lander's surroundings.

SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY: Space shuttle Discovery blasted off from Cape Canaveral yesterday and now it is chasing the International Space Station (ISS) around Earth. Sky watchers should be alert for the two spacecraft streaking across the heavens tonight.
