We got to see the Space Station!

The International Space Station (ISS) rose in the West at 9:32 MDT, and processed across the sky for 3 minutes. I missed the very beginning and ending, as I was in my chair, so the trees obscured my view more than the rest of the family. If you live near me, you can find when the space station will pass overhead again at this link: http://spaceflight1.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/view.cgi?country=United_States®ion=Colorado&city=Denver If you live elsewhere, you'll need to adjust the end of the link, or go back up a ways to where you can select your location. The chance to see it actually pried Girlchild away from the TV.

We tried to see the ISS and the shuttle last night, but we had an overcast sky. I'm glad the skies were clear tonight so we could see.
