See the space station

I just came inside from watching the International Space Station, to which the Space Shuttle is currently docked, fly overhead. It looks like a bright star (almost the brightness of Jupiter, and brighter than most real stars). If you're interested, you can use this website to find the exact time it will be visible from wherever you are in the U.S. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata...=United+States

The precision of the timing and location is very cool.

Cool, weather-permitting, we'll be out tomorrow night. Thanks.
