The shuttle appeared right over my house and I observed it for probably a couple of minutes till about 6:22. I saw the crescent moon and Venus and Jupiter this morning just before day break. Nice! I have a question that you can probably answer. Just east of the track of the shuttle tonight there are 3 bright objects. There is one at about 1:00 that is red, a second also red at about 3:00 and one at 5:00 that is red, green and yellow. I first thought the latter must have been a plane, but it does not appear to be moving ( relatively speaking). Can you figure out what I am describing? cheers Ken ----- Original Message ----- From: Sherman Williams To: naturens@chebucto.ns.ca Sent: Sunday, February 03, 2008 2:09 PM Subject: [NatureNS] High Space Station Pass Tonight If there is an appropriate sky about 6:15 this evening (Feb 3rd), the Space Station makes a nice high pass.
