 This evening (Tues, March 8) there is a nice high (nearly overhead) pass of both the space station and the shuttle Discovery (its last)

The shuttle is apparently leading, reaching its high point a few seconds ahead of the station (the station should be brighter)

Discovery reaches the height of its pass at 6:51:32 p.m. (18:51:32) AST, over 70 degrees above the SSW (near overhead)

Space Station reaches peak of its pass  at 6:52:05 p.m. (18:52:05) AST over 70 degrees above the SSW (near overhead)

Both will come out of the westward a couple of minutes before the times above, and disappear a couple of minutes later toward the southeastward.

This will be a unique sighting. Two bright stars with people aboard.
