Space Report

A couple interesting things in the skies this week:

Thursday I caught two of the three planets. Saturn is getting next to impossible now, but tonight is the closest approach for Venus and Mercury.

Some good space station passes this week. Since we're close to solstice we get some unusual phenomena: seeing the ISS both morning and evening and even close to the middle of the night. Too many good passes to single one out.

And stay tuned: it's going to be a great fall for Mars. Not quite as good as summer 2003, but almost.
