My XYL and I saw Endeavour and the ISS in close formation at 30 degrees elevation on the 04:50 am pass over Maryland this morning, both objects equally bright and separated by about half the diameter of the full moon. The final separation burn occurred at 04:38 am, and NASA TV announced a separation distance of 13,500 feet ten minutes later at 05:00 am.
