Hi All, While the contiguous U.S. has no remaining opportunities to see a sunlit, nighttime pass of the Mir Space Station, a few select locations have final opportunities this week to observe Mir transits of the sun. Ron Dantowitz may already be aware, but in case not, there will be a Mir transit of the sun visible from a narrow swath of Massachusetts, not too far west of Boston on Tuesday afternoon around 14:46:30 EST. One location roughly on the centerline is 42.3 N, 71.55 W. Earlier in the day, a transit is visible from just to the west of Cleveland at ~8:33:47 EST (41.5 N, 82.05 W). Other cities that appear to be close to having transits tomorrow are Albuquerque-NM, Waco-TX and San Clemente-CA. I can provide maps of the transit tracks across the United States if anyone is interested. (Unfortunately, they aren't time-tagged, but you can at least see where in the U.S. they are occurring and then use SkyMap to get the particulars on the time and direction of transit travel.)
