Just to beat a dead horse.....
Starshine, STS-96 and the ISS will exit eclipse at about 4:24 EDT (08:28 UTC)
on 5 June. For the Baltimore-Washington area they will pass above the
Little Dipper - about 50 degrees above the horizon in the 4:26-4:27 EDT time
frame. It looks as though Starshine will lead the parade followed by STS-96
(10 seconds later) and the ISS (about 35 seconds later).
Cities from Atlanta to Boston will have an opportunity to view this pass.
