Last night as we pulled into the driveway we noticed our neighbors out on the corner, looking up at the sky. Weird, we thought. Then the neighbor called over to the kids and asked if they wanted to see the space shuttle and the space station. That's when we thought they'd really lost it. But we all ran over anyway and sure enough there were two very bright stars moving right in sync with each other through the night sky--the space shuttle and the space station. How cool is that? After all the news about the space station this week and then to actually see it up there. It was totally awesome. And to think, there are humans way up there. . . .
Anyway I had no idea you could even see the space shuttle or the space station when it's way up there, but come to find out, you can! And for those of you that missed it last night, this is your week to see it. Apparently if you have a clear night tonight or Saturday, you should be able to see the shuttle. And because they've been working on the space station, you should be able to see that too. I checked the sight for Utah and I know y'all should be able to see it, but you'll have to check yourself for the times and what direction to watch in. Just visit NASA and find your city. Happy Shuttle Sighting and good luck!
