Lucy in the Sky
Maybe not Lucy, but the space shuttle Discovery’s last flight and the International Space Station are going to be pretty spectacular this week.
In Pasadena, look for a pair of brightly lit objects (as bright as Venus) going from NW to SE at these times:
| SATELLITE | LOCAL | DURATION | MAX ELEV | APPROACH | DEPARTURE |
| DATE/TIME | (MIN) | (DEG) | (DEG-DIR) | (DEG-DIR) |
| ISS | Mon Mar 07/07:02 PM | 2 | 20 | 11 above NNW | 20 above NNE |
| ISS | Tue Mar 08/07:28 PM | 2 | 44 | 11 above NW | 44 above NW |
| ISS | Wed Mar 09/06:19 PM | 5 | 23 | 10 above NNW | 11 above E |
| ISS | Wed Mar 09/07:56 PM | < 1 | 16 | 16 above W | 16 above W |
| ISS | Thu Mar 10/06:46 PM | 5 | 82 | 13 above NW | 16 above SE |
And as a favor to our Seattle friends:
| SATELLITE | LOCAL | DURATION | MAX ELEV | APPROACH | DEPARTURE |
| DATE/TIME | (MIN) | (DEG) | (DEG-DIR) | (DEG-DIR) |
| ISS | Fri Mar 04/07:16 PM | 2 | 66 | 24 above WNW | 41 above E |
| ISS | Sat Mar 05/07:43 PM | 1 | 53 | 30 above W | 51 above SSW |
| ISS | Sun Mar 06/06:34 PM | 4 | 72 | 31 above WNW | 10 above ESE |
| ISS | Sun Mar 06/08:09 PM | 1 | 19 | 15 above WSW | 19 above SW |
| ISS | Mon Mar 07/07:01 PM | 3 | 47 | 35 above WSW | 12 above SE |
