The Space Station makes a high elevation pass this evening (Oct 26).

It is near OVERHEAD for most observers in the Atlantic Prov area between =
7:41 and 7:43, coming out of the WNW, heading to the ESE

It passes the 2 higher stars or the Summer Triangle In Lyra -(the =
brighter and to the west is VEGA 26 l.y.   and nearest overhead  in =
Cygnus, is DENEB (the swan's tail) (~3000 l.y. distant).  ALTAIR in =
Aquilla (the Eagle) is the lower, to the south  Summer Triangle star at =
a distance of 16 l.y. =20

These three stars and the ISS should show up nicely inspite of the =
brightening Moon.

There are 6 crew on the station (Mission 33). Ms Suni Williams (not =
related to me) is the commander.

The ISS enters Earth's shadow and blinks out of sight just before it =
passes near the moon at 7:43 p.m.
