SPACE WEATHER NEWS April 22, 2006
http://spaceweather.com

1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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. Sign up for SpaceWeather PHONE (http://spaceweatherphone.com) and we'll call you when the space station is about to fly over your home town.

NOVA: "Ancient Refuge in the Holy Land" Broadcast: April 25, 2006, 8 p.m.
http://www.pbs.org/nova/scrolls
"From Shimon Bar-Kokhba to Yehonathan...get ahold of the young men
and come with them. And I shall deal with the Romans." So wrote
legendary Jewish patriot Shimon Bar-Kokhba to his supporters during
a desperate uprising for religious freedom in the year 132. In this
program, NOVA returns to the last refuge of one group of
Bar-Kokhba's followers with Jewish historian Richard Freund, whose
bold theories have rocked the world of biblical archeology. The
expedition takes NOVA to a remote cave in the Judean desert, first
excavated by the famed Israeli archeologist Yigael Yadin in 1960-61.
The place is called the Cave of Letters, and the NOVA team is
certain it still holds startling secrets.

Babatha's Life and Times
A young Jewish widow hid her valuable personal documents in the
cave. Who was she?

Behind the Scenes
NOVA executive producer Paula Apsell describes her unnerving yet
rewarding journey to the cave.

Remote Excavation
Before ever breaking ground, archeologists often get a look
below with high-tech tools such as ground-penetrating radar.

Interactive and Interview
Babatha's Scroll
Translate a 2,000-year-old cave document from ancient Greek
into English.

Stumbling Upon a Treasure
The man who found the cave's basket of bronzes and Niche of
Skulls recalls his famous discoveries.
