Space station and space shuttle visible tonight after they've separated-8:37 PM CT
Just an FYI for the nerds.....
The space shuttle undocked from the international space station and is slowly decending towards a landing tomorrow. Tonight they are both visible in the midwest at 8:37 pm central time. Here in South Dakota they will be flying directly overhead. First one is the shuttle. You can check where and when to look at your location here: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/ |

The shuttle is in a lower orbit and actually had a lighted tail here.
I've never seen that before. Cool stuff. |

If I am reading it right it should be much lower/closer to the horizon tonight compared to last night.

They were visibly separate the night before as well, just not as far apart as they were last night. If only I had posted a thread about that...
