ISS racing shuttle across the sky

[fstorm1]

Anyone else have a chance to see these two celestial wonders screaming overhead? Tonight (Tuesday) was a perfect night for viewing here in the the Fox Valley, and the two blazed across the sky in 3 minutes flat. Even without a telescope (sold mine years ago http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif ), they were brilliant, easily visible to the naked eye, the shuttle a thumbs width behind. Flat out awesome.

 

Always fun, while visiting my father in St Germain, to lay out on his picnic table and just count the satellites whizzing by, but never anything this bright.

 

If you're interested, you can get info from Skywatch 2.0. Well worth it.

 

And brings the kids out, too.

I saw it, and had no idea what it was til I read this thread. I just figured alien invaders were scouting us out.
