What a sight!
Last night (June 20) at 9:52 Mike and I had the chance to experience seeing the International Space Station float across the sky. Tagging along behind was the space shuttle. It wasn't anything showy, but still a sight to behold. The space station was brighter than the shuttle. Stands to reason, it is bigger! To imagine that there were people up there floating in space not to mention the size of the space station really makes you think. If any of you are reading this tonight, there is still a possibility of seeing the space station tonight. If you go to this website, http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ you will be able to find when and where you should be able to see it. Just choose United States and then your state. Then you have to pick a city that is close to you to find out what time and approximately where in the sky you should be able to see it. Tonight it looks like we all should be able to see the space station and the shuttle again, but it will be low and the sky needs to be clear. Mike and has been keeping up with this and finally we were going to be able to see it at a decent time of night. It really was a cool thing to see!
