Iss Sightings Possible Along Mid Atlantic States Following The Docking Of Dragon
The SpaceX Dragon spacecraft will dock with the International Space Station Wednesday morning, October 10, 2012 with live coverage provided by NASA-TV. For more earthly observation of the ISS this week, there may be opportunities to see them together from YOUR BACKYARD. With clear skies in the forecast and the spacecraft expected to be particularly bright, it could be a very good show. It will appear as a light brighter than a star but appearing much more distant than a plane, moving swiftly and steadily across the sky. The ISS is expected to be brighter than the brightest star and almost as bright as some planets appear in the night sky. The typical "magnitude" of the ISS is -2 on an ancient Greek scale of celestial brightness, compared with -1.44 for Sirius, the brightest star, and -4.4 for Venus (the lower the value, the brighter the object. FOR SPECIFIC SIGHTING INFORMATION from your zip code location, review SATELLITE FLYBYS. The data will provide length of possible sighting, magnitude, what time, and direction to look this week.

Moon And Mars August 2010 Two Moons On August 27 2010
MOON AND MARS AUGUST 2010 : TWO MOONS ON AUGUST 27 2010: The rumors about the TWO MOON OF MARS and the Earth has now spread to the Internet as the stories seem so complex and many people thought at first and some believe that this is true. Apparently, the rumors start about a rare phenomenon of TWO MOON that appear in the sky and will be visible to our eyes. It was also reported that the second MOON which is actually the planet MARS and its rare occasions, the TWO MOON appear in the same time. As described above, in some newsletter, the MOON appears just after sunset over the rooftops and it will be seen throughout the world especially in countries that have clear skies today. MARS will be so close to Earth with about 34 million miles which will also appear the same MOON. NASA confirmed this and said there will be no such thing will happen today as TWO MOON appear in the sky at the same time and will not be seen worldwide. In addition, TWO MOON appear in the same time only happens once every 1.00 years and is only scheduled to reappear until 2287, proving that these new pure hoax. And in fact, MARS will be able to see tonight, but simply as a red star and say that NASA is still some 314 million kilometers from Earth.
