Drat! Out of range. :(

I've been spending time lately watching the space station go over. It was very bright when the shuttle was docked, but it's out of range now. The orbit varies over time. It's amazing just how fast it can travel the sky. If you don't know where to look when it comes, you'll miss it.

Here's another good link for stargazing. http://www.heavens-above.com/

You can register and set up your location, and then when you log in it will tell you when the space station, or satellites, or anything else of interest is in your area. It's a super place to get star maps that are accurate right down to a specific time. Great site to get the kids onto. :D :D

there is a guy in our little town, who everyone thought of as a bit weird. was a genious in school, and a loner..... super nice guy though.

his home was in an area the town was renovating, so they "bought him out" and before demolishing it, someone went in there.... his bed room celing was painted just like the sky ! had all the stars in the right places, if you did not know better you would not know you were in a building!

when asked about it, he said he welcomed the move..... because there were a few flaws in his painting that this new house would not have....been 6 years since he moved, not sure if the sky is done yet or not!
