International Space Station Viewing


Early this morning, I learned that the International Space Station would make a pass over Texas at 9:17PM today. So, I sent a quick email to our neighbors and rallied a group of space enthusiasts to join us for the event. We gathered at 9:00 in the cul-de-sac and began scouring the night sky.






After several false alarms, and at exactly 9:17pm, Steve spotted it. We watched it, for nearly the full five minutes, as it quickly made its way across the sky above our rooftops. Too cool! We love space exploration!
