This website (if you click back) you can input your town and it gives you the times to see them going over.


Last night was awesome!!

Saw the ISS then about 1 minute behind, the shuttle. They dock at about 4pm today.

Looking forward to seeing them docked at (.18 tonight!

Well it's all go this weekend, there's also the Perseids meteor shower this weekend, Sunday night, and apparently as it's a new moon (not much light) it'll be the most spectacular for years. Details here

Thanks for that, just saw it go over the top of us thumbup plus a couple of "shooting stars" that were presumably the start of the meteor shower. Sometimes the world we live in reminds us how cool it is!

I was lucky enough to see a launch of Columbia in 1995. It was incredible, I was in a shopping mall in Florida when it re-entered the atmosphere and the sound wave (or whatever it is!) blew open all the doors of the mall.

Very impressive and humbling!

is worth a look too, photosynth is going to be big and this one is a must for space fans

I was fortunate to be in Florida for Endeavour's maiden flight. I watched the lift off from Cocoa Beach pier.
