     Subj: Chinese Space Station Transits the Sun
     Space Weather News for May 14, 2012

     SOLAR TRANSIT: A photographer in France has caught China's
     experimental space station, the Tiangong-1, passing directly in
     front of the sun. The photo shows the winged spacecraft backlit by
     hot plasma as it flits across the solar disk in the neighborhood of
     giant sunspot AR1476. Check it out on today's edition of
     http://spaceweather.com.

     TIANGONG-1 SIGHTINGS: The Tiangong-1 is much smaller than the
     International Space Station. Nevertheless, it can be seen with the
     naked eye shining in the night sky as brightly as the stars of the
     Big Dipper. Download the Simple Flybys app for sighting
