ISS 09/08
The Space Shuttle has seperated from the ISS to return to Earth. Tonight they will pass overhead side by side from east to west about 7:44 PM San
Diego time. At their highest they will reach about 38 degrees above the northwestern horizon. Sunday night we got a good look as they passed overhead
while still connected. Here is the ground track for tonights pass.

WAY COOL! Thanks, saw it just in time.

It was great to see them both (shuttle and space station)... The shuttle was in front of the station, both moving across the sky from the southwest to
the northeast. I was surprised they were as high up (angle, not distance) being that they flew over Santa Barbara and I am almost 200 miles south.
They were at about 11 o'clock high vs. closer to the horizon.
The space station was about as bright as Venus and the shuttle about as bright as Jupiter.
Thank you Matt (elgatoloco) for the notice!

We actually were able to see them in Long Beach: No Costal Eddy, no smoke from the Station Fire. Bright enough to see in the city!
