Shuttle Goes up Nov. 12

I hope when the hook up with the space station that I will get the chance
to see them both close together shining bright and zooming past in the sky.
What an awesome view it is when they are both close to each other flying
over head at night.

No, you'd don't have to drive over there. You could walk instead.
But seriously, that just means you'd need to be along that path
to see the maximum brightness. Being away from the center line
simply results in a dimmer flare. As you saw, the centerlien would

I know about the site. But when it says a flash if five miles away do I
have to drive to that spot five miles away or can I see it from the backyard
where I'm at now? One is shown to be 2 miles away with a magnitude of -8 at
flare center and -7 at my location. So I can still see it at my location?

How to view Iridium Satellites?

khonak...@hotmail.com (Von Fourche) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 02:04:15 UT

I can find and spot satellites. Now I want to see Iridium flashes. How
hard is it to see the flashes? How do find the flashes?
Thanks!

Satellite Spotting is Cool

I just went outside to try to see a satellite on this cool fall night.
Sure enough it showed up when it was suppose to.
Spotting satellites is cool! I just can't believe we can see those
things falling over and over the earth in the coldness of space (or close to
space.) Amazing.
I'm thinking I should keep a list of all the satellites that I see that

I've read on Heavens-Above that some folks have seen it during the
day, especially towards early morning and late afternoon. I'll have
to check for promising passes and try to see it.
The other things that can be visible during the day are Iridium

The Shuttle was leading the ISS by about a minute. That correlates to
around 270-miles.
A few years ago I saw a Shuttle-ISS double pass where they were only
30-miles apart. That's about four fingers wide at arms length. The
Shuttle had undocked from the ISS just a few hours earlier. I live near
a lake which is also about 30-miles long. If the lake happened to be in
