Stalking the ISS

I've gone out in the yard a few early mornings to see the International Space Station go overhead, it sure is an impressive sight! The ISS is by far the brightest thing in the sky other than the sun and moon.

Now that the Space Shuttle is up there I am going hunting for it too. Look for a visible pass prediction with a magnitude in the (-) range for the best viewing. The first photo was a -2.0, the second was -1.7. Happy hunting!

COOL PICS!

NASA has some very good trackers.

I get the J-Pass emailed, comes a couple of times a week, and the J-Track is really neat. Both are comprehensive (i.e. just saying being the government, the satellite database is fairly, uh, extensive).

Those are quite cool. Especially the Java satellite tracking!
