Last Window-Or Maybe One More!!!

The STS as well as the ISS will both be lost to the shadow of the Earth or Eclipsed by it at 41 and 42 Degrees respectively-possibly close to the Planet Jupiter as a line of sight if clear....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See it nicely as a small brilliant white star glide fastly through the heavens this Evening 2 or so Minutes before the ISS appeared-there was variable cloud about but I managed to see the STS floating quickly across the calm night sky to go into the shadow to be eclipsed by the Earth.

 

The ISS appeared 2 or so minutes behind it as a golden gleaming bright star going in and out of cloud until that also dissappeared into the shadow of the Earth to leave a prominent Jupiter in the South East shining bright...
