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
