I saw Mars last night was low in the northen sky and was quite obviosly red... didn't see the meteor shower though as I was knackered and retired to bed early :oops:

I started looking Friday night after the BBQ. We saw a few meteors but then we saw the International Space Station (ISS) docked onto the Space Shuttle Endeavor tracking in from the West. Amazing! The brightest satelight I have ever seen- not surprising really as it was two big objects side by side!

To get an ISS/Space Shuttle prediction for your location look here:

Heavens Above generated this image of the ground track of the ISS/Space Shuttle pairing as we saw it on Friday night.




Don't wait too long to look though as Endeavour is now scheduled to undock from the International Space Station on Aug. 20 and land Aug. 22.

No wonder it's bright!
