International Space Station getting Brighter!

[pmreed]

With the deployment of the additional solar energy panels, the ISS is getting brighter! Just how much brighter remains to be seen; check it out for yourself. Go to Heavens Above (http://www.heavens-above.com/) , find your location (or enter your Lat/Lon if you know it) and see when your next opportunities to see the station are. If you were really lucky, you could see the shuttle close to the ISS just after separation. There are more panels yet to come by 2010, so it will get brighter yet. Let us all know if you see it.

ps: There are lots of other satellites you can watch for; check some of them out too!
