I find this most fascinating. 2) What did I do wrong? I saw ISS bright tonight, as several others saw it within seconds of when I saw it, but why didn't I see the Shuttle? The same people saw STS-92, too. It makes no sense to me. Or maybe it wasn't visible naked eye? But if -2 isn't naked eye, then I don't know what is. -------------------------------- Jonathan T.
