Well, today, May 1 200, both MIR and ISS are in the evening, just 2
minutes apart! It seems unusual to me....<<<
There are plenty of times ISS and MIR are in the same sky. In fact, I've
seen them almost at the same time. A couple of weeks ago (sorry for not
being exact) I saw a great morning pass by both at the same time. ISS
was first, but MIR was shortly behind. Facing northeast, I could shift
my eyes to see ISS travel NW to SE and then, without turning my head,
shift my eyes to see MIR S to N. I could not quite see them both at the
same time with out shifting my eyes, but it was very cool.
