Index of Subjects On Friday night (May 30), about 15 of us attending the Nature Nova Scotia conference in Barrington wandered up Wireless Hill to flush some owls and do some stargazing. The former activity was a bust, but in the fading twilight, the late spring constellations were fast emerging. At about 10:25, with an excellent view of the Northern horizon, we spotted the ISS moving fast from a spot in the NW toward the east. It stayed low, probably never getting more than 20 degrees from the horizon, and it wasn't until it almost reached the eastern horizon that it finally snuffed out in a combination of haze and earth shadow. This was certainly the longest view I've had of the space station, and it was real bonus for those who had never seen it before. Thanks to Larry Bogan for a great job of identifying and explaining some of the wonders of the northern sky. Doug Linzey
