Like Tim said, there was an interesting line formed by Saturn, Venus, the Moon, and Regulus.
I live just outside of Pittsburgh, PA. So last night I got to see the ISS and the shuttle as well. The most interesting thing about it though was
that they almost followed that line of planets and stars exactly. About a degree or so below.
I have seen the space station before alone, but never with the shuttle tailing it. My back yard faces slightly southwest as well. So last night I
had one of the more interesting views. I had the planets all lined up. It was inpressive alone. Then the Space station followed by the shuttle came
into view just below that line almost moving parrallel to it. They were in veiw for probably 2 minutes.
Honestly, it was one of the more interesting nights I have had stargazing. (and I live close to a city so being that I was home when I witnessed it
was pretty cool, usulaly have to travel)
Ok, I rambled...
