Space station has now entered visible evening passes once again.

The Space Station (ISS) with the Shuttle still attached makes a  
couple of passes this evening.

First One out of the  south, a low pass (only 15 degrees up in  
Avonport)  peaks at 8:22 p.m. in the SE, passes near Jupiter.

The second,about 90 min later, out of the WSW, reaches an altitude of  
20 degrees when it hits Earth shadow and fades at 9:55 p.m.

The shuttle disembarks just before midnight, so perhaps the next  
couple of evenings we may catch them passing one behind the other and  
the passes will be higher.
