--Boundary_(ID_CiJWNb9uJl009/aJKJDliw) Content-type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT A few minutes BEFORE 5:30 p.m., if there is sufficient clearing in the sky, there will be a bright pass of the space station across the SOUTHERN SKY, coming from the wastward, heading eastward. Details: 23 Nov Mag -1.6 Beginning about 17:26:00, from SW, Max altitude 42 deg in the SE at 17:28:47, ending at 17:31:09 in ENE. It will be AN INTERESTING PASS for two reasons 1) the beginning of the pass, its path takes it very near bright Venus and Jupiter. So be watching for the first appearance of the station in the vicinity of the TWO BRIGHT PLANETS IN THE SOUTHWEST. As the station passes you can guage its brightness relative to the planets, Jupiter (mag. negative 2), Venus (mag. negative 4). 2) there are 10 people aboard the station: 7 crew of the attached shuttle (Discovery) and 3 ISS crew There will be a few other good passes of the ISS, especially the 24th and the 26th You can check the schedule here: http://web.mac.com/sherm39/iWeb/ Site/ISS_Page.html ALSO, as a heads up, MARK NOV 29th, 30th and Dec 1st on your observing calendar. the two brightest planets are at their closest in the south western sky. Dec 1st the crescent Moon joins them. Should we be graced with clear sky, the view will be MAGNIFICENT! naked-eye or with binoculars. --Boundary_(ID_CiJWNb9uJl009/aJKJDliw) Content-type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><br><div><br></div><div>A few = minutes BEFORE 5:30 p.m., if there is sufficient clearing in the sky, = there will be=A0<a = href=3D"http://www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.asp?Loc=3DAvonport&La= t=3D45.100&Lng=3D-64.250&Alt=3D54&TZ=3DAST">a bright pass of = the space station</a>=A0across the SOUTHERN SKY, coming from the = wastward, heading eastward.</div><div><br></div><div><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"color: rgb(0, 0, 254); font-family: = Verdana; "><a = href=3D"http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDetails.asp?SatID=3D25544&lat= =3D45.100&lng=3D-64.250&alt=3D54&loc=3DAvonport&TZ=3DAST&a= mp;Date=3D39775.8949907884" style=3D"text-decoration: none;"><a = href=3D"http://www.heavens-above.com/PassDetails.asp?SatID=3D25544&lat= =3D45.100&lng=3D-64.250&alt=3D54&loc=3DAvonport&TZ=3DAST&a= mp;Date=3D39775.8949907884" style=3D""><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" = color=3D"#000000" face=3D"Helvetica"><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" = style=3D"text-decoration: none;">Details:=A0</span></font></a><span = class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"text-decoration: underline;">23 = Nov</span></a></span></div><div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Verdana" size=3D"3" color=3D"#0000fe" style=3D"font: 12.0px = Verdana; color: #0000fe"><span class=3D"Apple-style-span" style=3D"color: = rgb(0, 0, 0); ">Mag -1.6</span></font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: = 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = face=3D"Verdana" size=3D"3" style=3D"font: 12.0px Verdana">Beginning = about 17:26:00, from=A0SW, =A0Max altitude 42 deg in the SE at=A017:28:47,= ending at=A017:31:09 in ENE.</font></div><div style=3D"margin-top: 0px; = margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font = class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Verdana"><br></font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Verdana">It = will be AN INTERESTING PASS for two reasons</font></div><div = style=3D"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; = margin-left: 0px; "><font class=3D"Apple-style-span" face=3D"Verdana">1) = the beginning of the pass, its path takes it very near=A0<a = href=3D"http://web.mac.com/sherm39/iWeb/Site/main_index_files/Venus-Jupite= r081121-c.jpg">bright Venus and Jupiter</a>.
