Here's the ground track for the flyover tonight. Go outside at about 8:08. In my part of So. Cal it should be visible for 5 minutes!

3. Saw it! Cool, thanks.

Like a very bright star, but moving. Very clear evening.

6. I was lucky enough to see it a couple times just after the Shuttle undocked. Two bright objects...

with the smaller one in trail.

Very cool. I wonder how they felt up there upon hearing of Neil Armstrong's passing. If I remember correctly, he was on the team that worked out the problem of docking in space. They did it with jeeps driving in circles on a dry lake bed.

4. It misses Oregon, but it doesn't matter.

Our sky is cloudy. As usual.

7. Thanks... That was awesome!

8. Well, I think I saw it...

It seemed to be further west than the diagram shows. But it was going the correct direction, and about the right speed...

The moon illuminated it for a while, and then it faded...

It was cool!



Thanks for the heads-up!

9. Very cool, thank you for the heads-up!

I saw your OP at 8:04 - just in time to run out for a view. I was a bit surprised at where it was: the ground track made me think it would be down to the east but I neglected to think about how high it is and how little curved the Earth actually is. Seemed like it passed about 15 degrees from directly above...

10. Darn. I just saw your post.

So I missed it.
