Treat From The Night Sky
Last night here in our area we were treated to a special night sky event. As I type this post, the space shuttle Discovery is on track to meet up with the International Space Station sometime today. But late yesterday evening Discovery made a pass through the night sky. It was estimated to pass at 8:08 pm, and it was right on schedule. It appeared as a bright light moving from the south west to the north east at a rapid pace, only taking a few minutes to move all the way across the night sky.
About 25 minutes before it passed there was another light that moved across the sky in the exact same path the shuttle took. I assumed that it was the space station since that was the path the shuttle was currently on but I don’t know, just a guess. Maybe there’s a reader out there that can answer that question for me. Although the shuttle only appeared as a moving bright light in the sky it was still a cool experience us just knowing what the light really was.
