Dawn is eight days out from Vesta

Even as the Republican House committee tries to stifle the spirit of exploration in the James Webb Space Telescope (which is indeed the telescope that ate NASA's budget, but I never said I didn't want it to fly, just not cost as much) -- the once-canceled Dawn mission is only eight days out from Vesta orbit.

Amazing. So does Vesta have a moon? Or more than one? We'll find out soon.
