[SGVLUG] OT: Space Station and Space Shuttle visible over LA tonight

[Claude Felizardo]

For anyone interested, both the international Space Station and the
Space Shuttle will be visible from the greater Los Angeles area
tonight.

For ISS, it starts about 7:15 (sunset is about 7:02 tonight) in the
SW, passes nearly overhead  at 7:18 and ends about 7:21 in the NE.

STS is in a slightly different lower path rising about 7:35 in the
SWS, reaches max alt of 38 degrees in the NW and disappears about 7:40
in the NNE.

Satellites look like bright moving stars whose brightness changes as
the sun angle between you and the object changes.  The ISS will be
very bright like an airplane except w/o flashing lights.  For details

And don't forget to keep an eye out for Iridium flares.
