International Space Station Sighting Opportunity ::

The shuttle Atlantis, on it's last mission, is docked with the ISS and the Columbia/Camden area has a good sighting opportunity tomorrow night, Monday, May 17, at 08:49 PM.

The ISS will approach from 20 degrees above the NNW horizon tracking to a departure 17 degrees above the ESE horizon. The maximum elevation will be 43 degrees for a total of 4 minutes.

Since Atlantis is docked with the ISS the light will be especially bright so look for a bright white light traveling rapidly through the sky.

People in other areas of the world can find optimum sighting opportunities at NASA's Human Spaceflight web site.

Here's a photograph of Atlantis' launch last Friday:
