The space shuttle discovery is currently docked with the International Space Station and has been passing overhead our area for the last few days. Coming up soon will be a very good pass, high in the sky.<\/p>\n

\nStart pass 19:37:30\t10\tNW
\nMidpoint Pass 19:40:12\t66\tN
\nEnd pass 19:40:12\t66\tN <\/p>\n

This says to go outside early, maybe 19:35 EST and look to the Northwest. At 19:37 you may notice the ISS\/shuttle about 10 degrees off the horizon. Just over two minutes later it will be at its maximum altitude of 66 degrees in the north.
\nAnd then the pass ends immediately, as the ISS\/shuttle disappear into the earths shadow.<\/p>\n
