Mojo and I stepped outside at 7:55 p.m. and waited a few minutes for the 
first of three satellites as they passed from West to East.  We saw all 
three.  The ISS - the 2nd of the three was much brighter than the 
shuttle.When the shuttle - the third satellite, passed halfway between 
Sirius and Saturn we saw a sun glint - which brightened the illumination 
for just a second.  It was a great view!  I hope some of you  also 
stepped outside for this fun view!  Jane
