    Well sitting here,Looking out ant a clear-ish sky was wondering when are we gonna' get a good clear bright view of the ISS and Endeavour again?

    Last night there wasn't a cloud in the sky here and of course i missed it passing over...

    I would check heavens-above but i really don't get that site,Anyone know when we'll next see them?

    Next pass is at 22:32 tonight, it'll rise in the west (as per usual), it'll reach a maximum altitude of 29 degrees (which isn't very high), and it'll set 6 minutes later in the SE at 22:38. Its maximum magnitude will only be -2.1, which is around 2.5 times less bright than last night's and some of the previous night's passes.
