Starshine

We just saw a lovely pass of Discovery and ISS AND Starshine. The latter was
a degree or so ahead of the shuttle as they were rising in the West and flashed
twice, the extremely brief flashes being as bright as 2d or 3d magnitude
(approximately 08:25.2 UTC today). Later (about 08:26.9 UTC) when in the
northern part of the sky, we saw another flash.

Pretty (but not as "flashy" as, say, EGP).


Clear and dark skies!
