Watch the shuttle follow the ISS tonight!  Sorry for the  short notice - 
I just received the info myself. Begin looking in the NW at 6:20 p.m. 
tonight - it will be over by 6:25p.m when the ISS reaches 38 degrees 
above the horizon, less than halfway to the zenith overhead.  The 
shuttle should follow - I don't know by how long, but I'd watch for a 
couple minutes.  There are not too many shuttle missions left, so seeing 
each one is a treat!

This is for southern California only.  For other locations you can use 
the same website I do:  http://www.heavens-above.com  Happy hunting, and 
happy Thanksgiving too!  Jane
