Breaking News!! See The Space Station And Space Shuttle Tonight!
This is amazing you guys. Tonight at 6:49, if you look to the south western sky, you will see the International Space Station pass very brightly overhead in our night sky, followed closely by the Space Shuttle!! I just watched this happen in the eastern sky about 10 minutes ago. WOW! I tried to snap a picture, but it didn’t turn out too well as I had about 30 seconds notice to get ready.
So go outside with your family at 6:49 and experience something amazing together!!
PS- No telescope necessary. You can see them with your naked eye!
*UPDATE*- Picstures from the second pass! This time they were going away from each other.
I got it on hidef video. Very spectacular sight. I saw it at 5:12pm PST in Corona, CA. I will post by Friday after thanksgiving on youtube under username Nowanii

It will take a few hours for the HD piece to process but should be ready by around 11pm Thanksgiving evening.
I did not realize at first the shuttle was following. I saw both bright objects in the sky moving and I thought one was an airplane and the other the Space station but then realized they were both moving in the exact same direction. then I realized the Space Shuttle must have recently undocked. I had been wanting to see this for several years and could never time it.
Seeing this on thanksgiving after a great dinner made my day and week. What a great site.
Thanks!!
Tom
We saw the space station and shuttle race through the sky (above Pike’s Peak) in Colorado at exactly 6:15pm last night (11/26)!!! It was an awesome sight to see!!!!!!! Yeah!
