So back to the space shuttle.... just checked heavens above and looking at the predicted pass times for both the ISS and the Shuttle ( STS-118 ) they are going to be stuck together for another week. When are the planning on coming home? You never know we might be lucky enough to see the 2 lights in the sky again.

Anyone had the chance to look at the ISS with a decent telescope when its been passing, apparantly every few days they dump water, it can be seen as a trail of ice crystals.

Also, is anyone living out of town with less light pollution? Its pretty bright where I am surrounded my lights.

For information ISS will pass overhead again tonight at around 10:03, at its closest it will be only 230 miles away.
