>DOUBLE SPACESHIP FLYBYS: Space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to undock
>from the International Space Station on Monday, August 20th. If that
>happens as planned, sky watchers across North America may be able to
>witness something rare and beautiful: a double-spaceship transit across the
>night sky. US cities favored for flybys on Aug. 20th or 21st include
>Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Las Vegas, New York and Phoenix.
> The space station and shuttle will appear as separate, bright points of
>light moving in tandem. Flyby times depend on where you live. Subscribers
>to Spaceweather PHONE (http://spaceweatherphone.com) will receive phone and
>email alerts when the pair are about to appear. Flyby timetables are also
>available from Heavens Above (http://heavens-above.com).
>
>BONUS: The International Space Station is under construction, and with each
>new addition the sprawling complex becomes easier to see from the ground.
>To the naked eye, the space station now resembles a super-bright star
>gliding slowly across the sky. Backyard telescopes reveal much more: solar
>panels, laboratories and living modules, a robotic arm and docked supply
>vessels. Photos and videos are featured on this weekend's edition of
>http://spaceweather.com.
