Way cool ISS and Shuttle sighting

[+pdxmarathonman]

Sorry that I didn't post this BEFORE 5:34pm tonight, but I just went out to see the ISS and Shuttle cruise by and was rewarded with a bonus. They are flying a few miles apart! Two very distinct bright lights went shooting across the sky for about 3 minutes!

Check the link referenced in this thread

for more sightings this week.

 

Wednesday looks good, another 3 minute appearance very high in the sky at 5:21pm with a quickie following at 6:57. Then a 4 minute visit on Friday at 5:08 and another quickie at 6:43pm

Looks like the station will rise again at 1811 on Dec. 3rd.

Here is a cool site where you can see the when, where, and what is passing over your head.

 

I use this one frequently because my kids can see the graphics and understand them a bit better.

That was awsome tonite. They weren't visible for very long, but you could see both the shuttle and the iss. Woulda been better with a few coldies tho.

Its cold enough outside! I think you must have meant it would have been better with a few hotties.
