Space Shuttle Atlantis and the ISS Flyby
Friday, November 27th, 2009I’ll preface this post by saying that I am a huge fan of all things space.
For the past few days the space shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station have been orbiting the Earth separately since they undocked on Wednesday. Tonight they were visible for a short time here in New Hampshire. It was pretty neat to see both streaking across the sky. They looked like a couple of really bright planes and were only visible for a little more than a minute and a half. It was so cool.
In the picture the top streak is the space station and the lower is Atlantis, STS-129.
