Cool, always nice to get a bonus :-) Me, I'm hoping they use the second landing opportunity into KSC Thursday, Friday, Sat... I'll get to hear them fly over Houston again. That was great on the last mission. |

That was great on the last mission. Yes, appeared again last night -- the Atlantis shuttle trailing length was about double from the previous night observation. The flight path arced above Venus and Saturn and Moon in western sky. Both headed into eclipse near Jupiter in SE sky. Can't wait till final solar array is installed -- should increase magnitude again! gb |

What a show! Clear clean sky, with bright Venus to the West. |
