--Apple-Mail-10-540639331 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed There is a very narrow window for an unusual viewing of the Space Station this evening along with 2 other craft leading in the same orbit. Just after 9 p.m. all three will pass through the low south west sky (not really a good view window). Moments after each comes in view they run into Earth's shadow which renders them out of sight (no reflecting sunlight). (Not a very favourable pass for Atlantic Canada) Normally I would not even bother bringing such a pass to the attention of others but because of the 3 space craft in tandem it is an unusual view and a real viewing challenge. Here are the details. Spaceweather dot Com has a report http://www.spaceweather.com/ too. Track comes from low in the SOUTHWEST and ends in the SOUTH, lasts at best 20 sec to a half minute The Jules Verne (ATV) craft first between 9:02:17 p.m.and 9:02:39 p.m. and gets no higher than 12 to 13 degrees above the horizon (mid Nova Scotia) Tis is a new supply vessel launched recently. The Space Station next (ISS) between 9:06: 37 p.m. and 9:06:55 p.m. max altitude 12 degrees and trailing at the end, the space shuttle Endeavour (STS-123) between 9:06:54 p.m. and 9:07:13,p.m. max altitude 12 degrees This is an extremely narrow window in which to view. You must have a clear, low southwestern horizon and observe closely. Good look to those who try, if you get this message in time. --Apple-Mail-10-540639331 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">There is a very narrow window = for an unusual viewing of the Space Station this evening along with 2 = other craft leading in the same orbit. =A0 Just after 9 p.m. all three = will pass through the low south west sky (not really a good view = window).=A0Moments after each comes in view they run into Earth's shadow = which renders them out of sight (no reflecting sunlight).=A0<div><br = class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>(Not a very favourable = pass for Atlantic Canada)=A0Normally I would not even bother bringing = such a pass to the attention of others but because of the 3 space craft = in tandem it is an unusual view and a real viewing challenge. =A0Here = are the details. =A0Spaceweather dot Com has a report=A0<a = href=3D"http://www.spaceweather.com/">http://www.spaceweather.com/</a></di= v><div>too.</div><div><br = class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Track comes from low in = the SOUTHWEST and ends in the SOUTH, lasts at best 20 sec to a half = minute</div><div><br class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The = Jules Verne (ATV) craft first between 9:02:17 p.m.and 9:02:39 p.m. and = gets no higher than 12 to 13 degrees above the horizon (mid Nova Scotia) = =A0Tis is a new supply vessel launched recently.</div><div><br = class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>The Space Station next = (ISS) between 9:06: 37 p.m. and 9:06:55 p.m.=A0max altitude 12 = degrees</div><div><br class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>and = trailing at the end, the space shuttle =A0Endeavour (STS-123) between = =A09:06:54 p.m. and 9:07:13,p.m. =A0max altitude 12 = degrees</div><div><br class=3D"webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>This = is an extremely narrow window in which to view.
