Human Space Flight (HSF) - Sightings

The Perseid meteor shower will happen early Monday morning.

Here's NASA's Perseid page.

This "Your Sky" application shows what's overhead on a clear night, where to look for constellations & planets. Either select a nearby city or use Google Earth to find your coordinates. Make sure they are in the correct format: Degrees, Minutes & Seconds. Decimal degrees don't work.

Since the Space Shuttle is in orbit, when it's docked to the Space Station it is easy to see. Here is NASA's Java realtime tracking page.

From this link you can find out when to look up & see it.

Click through from state to nearest city. Look in the duration column. The longer the duration, the more likely it is you can see the shuttle.

Keep looking! Keep watching the skies!
