>DOUBLE FLYBY: If all goes according to plan, space shuttle Atlantis will 
>undock from the International Space Station (ISS) on Monday morning, Feb. 
>18th, at approximately 4:30 am EST.  This is good news for sky watchers 
>across North America who will be able to witness a rare double flyby on 
>Monday evening.  Atlantis and the ISS will appear as a tight pair of 
>lights, as bright as Jupiter or Venus, gliding in tandem across the 
>twilight sky--an unforgettable sight. Favored cities include Los Angeles, 
>New Orleans, Dallas, Jackson (MS), Pensacola,  Philadelphia, Reno, San 
>Diego and others. Double flybys continue on Tuesday, Feb 19th, albeit not 
>as tight because the shuttle will be moving away from the ISS as it 
>prepares to land on Wednesday, Feb. 20th.
