See the Shuttle and ISS From Your Backyard!

Want to see the Space Shuttle Discovery undocking from the International Space Station from your own backyard?

Currently the shuttle is docked to the ISS, but it is planning to undock and separate the space station early Sunday morning, August 7th.

Within several hours of this separation people in central Texas (YOU AUSTIN), south Florida and Louisiana will be able to see two starlike objects, the shuttle and ISS, travelling across the early morning sky!

See the NASA Science Space article here: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2005/04aug_sightings.htm?list133024

To find the space shuttle and other objects in the sky above your location, vist the Heaven's-Above website at: http://www.heavens-above.com.

Good Night!

Dan
