Shuttle and ISS pass tonight 6:21-6:25 p.m.
Watch the shuttle follow the ISS tonight! Sorry for the short notice - I just received the info myself. Begin looking in the NW at 6:20 p.m. tonight - it will be over by 6:25p.m when the ISS reaches 38 degrees above the horizon, less than halfway to the zenith overhead. The shuttle should follow - I don't know by how long, but I'd watch for a couple minutes. There are not too many shuttle missions left, so seeing each one is a treat! This is for southern California only. For other locations you can use the same website I do: http://www.heavens-above.com Happy hunting, and happy Thanksgiving too!
