Double Flyby



From Spaceweather.com :

Space shuttle Discovery undocked from the International Space Station this morning.

This means many sky watchers will be able to see the two spaceships flying in tandem, separate but closely-spaced points of light beginning tonight.

Double flybys will continue on Thursday and Friday with Discovery returning to Earth on Saturday.

I'll be watching.

  2. Can you believe that I missed it? Well, I did. I was watching "So You Think You Can Dance" with my daughter and I totally forgot to
    look up at the sky.

    Oh the shame...

    I'll remember tomorrow.

  3. Oh shoot! I missed both this AND SYTYCD. Darn it, and I wanted to vote! I DVR'd it so I'll know what's going on, at least.

    We got a new kitty! We named him Kahless. I thought you would appreciate that. He's a fierce warrior kitty with scars and everything. He's from the shelter, and other than getting on the counters he's fitting in well.

  5. jen: Sweet! Did he come with his own little sword or will you have to join him on a quest?

    kat: I will try tonight... I'll set the alarm.

  6. Apparently he will need to pull out a lock of his hair (fur), dip it in a volcano then quench it in some river and twist it into a bat'leth. From what I've seen so far, I'm not sure he has it in him. He mostly seems to want to eat the dog food...

    I will post a picture soon.

  7. jen: That sounds like an ordeal. Maybe Kahless should skip the quest for the sword ;-)

  8. Thursday night was a flop for me. I couldn't see anything but cloud cover.

    I'll try again Friday night.

  10. I saw nothing thanks to the overwhelming cloud cover. Florida would pick this time to dump needed rain on us.
