[Phys-l] space station

FORWARDING (FROM NEW JERSEY)

 The International Space Station will fly almost directly (88 degrees  
altitude) over Northern NJ tonight from 7:40 to 7:46 PM EDT. Look for  
a very bright "star" in the southwest, then overhead, then preceeding  
to the northeast. You will recognize that it is not an airplane  
because it does not flash red and green navigation lights.
The Space Shuttle is now about eight minutes behind, so look for it on  
the same trajectory in the SW at 7:48, gaining slowly on the station.

Smile and wave,
