Hi all!

Around 0117z the ISS and STS-120 passed over Las Vegas, NV with a spectacular view. With the sun already behind the Spring mountain range to the west, it was leaving a light orange glow along the the top of the range. According to the keps, STS-120 was to appear first from the NW direction, followed by the ISS approximately 45 seconds later, both reached a zenith of 71 degrees in the clear desert sky. However, upon viewing the objects it appeared that the ISS was first and STS-120 was the one following. I am basing this observation on the magnitude of the objects. In any case, it was a nice sight to behold and will look forward to future sightings.

73,
