Webelos I Den 3
See the Int'l Space Station and Space Shuttle Flying Overhead
Date: 10/25/07
Tomorrow, Thursday, there will be a pass of both the International Space Station and the Space Shuttle Discovery over our area. If the sky is clear you should be able to see them pretty well for a fairly long sighting. At 6:37 p.m. look just above the WNW horizon. When the Station appears (it looks like a moving star) it will arc up in the sky, eventually getting to 51-degrees, a bit more than halfway up in the southern sky. It will then arc down toward the SSW.
You should see a second, slightly dimmer, object following it. That will be the Space Shuttle Discovery!
You do not need telescopes nor binoculars; if the sky is clear they should be visible to the naked eye.
