acmespaceshipNASA's solar sail deploys, although nobody's quite sure why it took so long: http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2011/24jan_solarsail/
There's a flyover for Chicago tonight starting at 5:10 p.m. but NanoSail-D is disappointingly dim (mag 4.8) which would make it invisible in our light-polluted skies even if we weren't locked in with heavy January suicide-inducing overcast. As usual. http://spaceweather.com/flybys/flybys.php?zip=60304
