Last night, Feb. 23-24, observers across the western half of North America witnessed a spectacular cluster of bright lights in the sky.  It was the re-entry and disintegration of a Chinese rocket body.  Coincidentally, a geomagnetic storm was in progress at the time and more than one photographer caught the rocket's debris cutting across curtains of Northern Lights.  Visit http://spaceweather.com for photos and more information.
