--Boundary_(ID_QzNE3ED5QZ5Qim+KjaLGnA) Content-type: text/plain; CHARSET=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT From the lighthouse at Horton Bluff, I enjoyed a grand view of the darkening evening sky as the space station in its bright silence, made its pass across the entire expanse of sky. What a setting: bright stars and planets dotting the cobalt blue,(especially the brilliance of Venus), and all around me, the choruses of Spring Peepers. Beautiful spring evening !! Sorry that the notice was given so close to the event. I had just remembered to check the schedule and found that tonight's was a good high pass. ....hoping I might get to a few for a look. The ISS has just begun its sequence of visible evening passes and now that Earth's northern hemisphere is dipping more and more toward the Sun, the ISS will remain in the sunlight for more than one pass in an evening, especially if its track is a northerly one. For example tonight, it will get halfway into its next pass after 11:06, before it encounters Earth shadow in the north at 11:09. It will reach about 24 degrees above the horizon as it hits the edge of Earth's shadow an blinks out. Get the upcoming ISS evening pass schedules and tracks from your favourite site or from this Heavens Above link. http://www.glinx.com/~sherm/iss_pass_schedule.htm Cheers, Sherman On 1/05/2010, at 9:22 PM, Sherman Williams wrote: > > Just noticed that the ISS makes a nice high pass in a few more > minutes (:31 to 9:35 west to east, bright, > > Hope this gets to a few !! > Sherm --Boundary_(ID_QzNE3ED5QZ5Qim+KjaLGnA) Content-type: text/html; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <html><body style=3D"word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; = -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "> =46rom the lighthouse at Horton Bluff, I enjoyed a grand = view of the darkening evening sky as the space station in its bright = silence, made its pass across the entire expanse of sky.
