Passing of the Space Station and Space Shuttle
The International Space Station along with the Space Shuttle will pass in our western skies just before 11 pm tonight (6/20). Look low in the west at 10:54 p.m. A moderately bright "star" will be found moving to the upper right of brilliant Venus. It continues to the upper left passing to Saturn's upper right. At about 10:55:30 it moves to the upper right of the crescent moon. By 10:56 it is lost from view as it enters the Earth's shadow.
Take advantage of the great weather and wave at these technological marvels.
Such is our view from southwest Virginia...
