Space Report

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.
