What's Up for April? How and when to view the Space Station and more! JPL: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup.cfm YouTube http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=JPLnews#p/u/0/TfMiKZi0ba4 A lot of you know how to check for local ISS passes, or go out and watch the passes, but many don't know when and where to look, or what to expect you will see. This month's podcast explains how and what you will see. I hope you share this podcast with your friends, family and networks who may be unsure how to look, where to look, and when to look. It's a good-time topic this month, especially because there is a shuttle about to dock and then undock from the ISS. That means both the shuttle and station can be seen together in the sky by some lucky people, maybe you! :-) Speaking of this week, there is a very nice and high morning ISS pass tomorrow morning here in the LA area, about 5:25 with a bonus - fainter STS-131 passes nearby 4 minutes earlier. I attached those two charts (using the familiar Heavens Above website) for us locals. Others can follow the directions and find out when and where. :-) Jane PS: Final reminder about Mohave turtles and star party this weekend, weather permitting is here: http://www.preservethemojave.org/events.html Jane Houston Jones Senior Outreach Specialist, Cassini Program JPL - 4800 Oak Grove Drive, MS 230-205 Pasadena, CA 91109 818-393-6435 jane.h.jones(a)jpl.nasa.gov What's Up For April - The International Space Station! http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/news/whatsup-archive.cfm
