Another good ISS pass tonight

[Morris Jones]

Tonight (Monday Feb. 18) there's an excellent pass of the International 
Space Station over Los Angeles, and if the timing is right, it will be 
followed or preceded by the space shuttle, making for a great double 
pass.  The shuttle is scheduled to undock this morning.

Look in the northwest starting at 5:50 p.m.  It will be almost directly 
overhead at 5:53, and set below the horizon in the southeast at 5:57.

The shuttle shouldn't be far behind, or ahead.  Both will be very bright 
and look like moving stars, with no blinking lights like airplanes.

Don't forget the total lunar eclipse this Wednesday night!

And finally it was great seeing so many of you on the sidewalk in 
Pasadena and Monrovia this weekend!  We had our first Saturn night, and 
some of our biggest visitor counts ever, especially in Pasadena on Friday.

Cheers,
Mojo
