SPACECRAFT TO BUZZ EARTH: Japan's Hayabasa 2 spacecraft will buzz Earth 
on Dec. 3rd in a slingshot maneuver designed to propel it to Asteroid 
Ryugu.  Hayabasa 2 is an amazing mission which, if all goes as planned, 
will drop as many as four landers on the asteroid and return samples of 
the space rock to Earth for analysis. The mission, and observing tips 
for amateur astronomers, are highlighted on today's edition of Spaceweather.com
