No list of numbers today! After what seems like weeks of rain here in England I woke at 5.44am to a clear dawn sky. STS-106 and ISS were due at 5.47am so I rushed outside without any equipment. The Shuttle passed below Rigel, about the same magnitude as the star, followed about 40 seconds later by the ISS half a magnitude fainter. The Shuttle was still visible when it set near Regulus and Mars, but the ISS had faded from view well by then. A great sight! David.
