Hi every1,
just if anyones interested bout things crossing our skies in the night the ISS is visible this month from Dec10-23rd.....its a pity the shuttle launch has being post-poned til january ya would being able to watch both of them passing over in tandem...its average altitude is 319.6km to 346.9km when passing threw our skies...Speed is 27,744km {17,240mph} so it completes 15.7 orbits per day...Checkout the web-page below for co-ordinates/magnitude/passover times..its setup in my login for that site so no need to adjust lontitude or latitude, that site is great for anything in orbit in our skies @ night or anything visual in the night sky

When i click the link it wants me to register. im assuming that the link you gave and the fact you said "its setup in my login" means that we shouldnt have to login..

Is It me or am i missing something??
