You must have a = clear, low southwestern horizon and observe closely. Good look to those who try, if you get this message in time. ------=_NextPart_000_011E_01C88EC0.56A2BD30 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=3DContent-Type content=3D"text/html; = charset=3Diso-8859-1"> <META content=3D"MSHTML 6.00.2900.3268" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY=20 style=3D"WORD-WRAP: break-word; webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = webkit-line-break: after-white-space"=20 bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Book Antiqua" size=3D2>Sherman:</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Book Antiqua" size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3D"Book Antiqua" size=3D2>I noticed in the email I got = from=20 Spaceweather.com that they listed Tuesday night as the night to see the = three=20 space craft.
