Sorry for the short notice but if you've never seen it then at 7:08 tonite in the southern horizon you should get a great view of the space shuttle goin home to Florida.
Travel is from the NW to the SE at about 30 to 45 degrees up.
Take a look you will not forget it!
Start watchin about 7:00 but do not forget it can run a couple of minutes late.

Re: Space shuttle @ 7:08
The pass time is correct, but they shuttle and space station are still docked. Both together should be a really bright pass.TIN BENDER wrote:Sorry for the short notice but if you've never seen it then at 7:08 tonite in the southern horizon you should get a great view of the space shuttle goin home to Florida.

Take a look at http://www.heavens-above.com/
You can enter your specific location and it will generate customized viewing data for ISS passes, Iridium flares, etc.
(I don't think it's accurate for shuttle missions, since they're subject to change . . .)
I've seen a couple of night shuttle re-entries over TX, and they're a LOT more spectacular than any "natural" event I've seen . . .

Here is a good link for future viewings:

I saw it last night just before they linked up. Space Shuttle was about 3-5 minutes in front of the ISS.

No problem Tin Bender. I had forgotten that it would be a good pass for viewing. Thanks for the heads up!!TIN BENDER wrote:Sorry, I thought this was a landing which is quite a site.
