9:12 PM Fri, Jul 24, 2009 |
Mark Murray

Just a reminder that there are some great opportunities to see the Space Shuttle and the Space Station from Austin this weekend. Skies should be clear enough to enjoy the show! These passes will be starting from the north or west.

Sat 7/25 9:36 pm, visible for 3 minutes, maximum elevation 17 degrees.
Sun 7/26 10:01 pm , 1 minute, maximum elevation 72 degrees***.
Mon 7/27 8:50 pm, 4 minutes, maximum elevation 18 degrees.
Mon 7/27 10:25 pm, 1 minute, maximum elevation 18 degrees.
Tue 7/28 9:15 pm, 3 minutes, maximum elevation 34 degrees***.
Wed 7/29 9:40 pm, 3 minutes, maximum elevation 19 degrees.
Fri 7/31 8:54 pm, 3 minutes, maximum elevation 18 degrees.

***These will be the brightest passes, but you should be able to see them all if skies are clear and you have a good view of the horizon (especially for those passes lower than 20 degrees).
