Quite a sight last night from here in Lincoln, Nebraska (40.8, -96.6). Through auspicious last-minute breaks in an 80% cloud cover, I saw the following drift past virtually the same spot just to the upper-left of Vega: At 0325 UT - STS-91 At 0326 UT - Mir At 0330 UT - Iridium 41, at Mag -6 I don't expect to see anything quite like that again any time soon! (Oh, and then there was the full moon--I guess that counts as a bright earth satellite :-) - Rick
