I couldn't see anything tonight as it was so cloudy. What time is it due over the UK tomorrow?
18:35 and 20:10 onwards (plus or minus approximately 1 minute depending where in the UK you are exactly located.
The Shuttle may or may not be somewhere close to it :j :j
and may even possibly have docked by then

When they are close together have you noticed the optical difference ?
I had a look on you tube to see what to look for. Instead of one bright spot moving fast you should see the Discovery like another bright spot very close. They go round a few times before docking with the ISS.
I'm in North Scotland and have been lucky the last few nights as it's do clear.
It's passing every 92 minutes over us just now. If you look south to south east it has been bang on time . The heavens above website is really accurate.
Sorry I just love all this kind of stuff and you can't always see the ISS as it's in a different orbit, let alone with Discovery about to dock with it.
The kids have been loving it everynight as DD is doing space in school.:santa2::xmastree::santa2:0 -
