Just over 7 hours later the two, still close together and both very bright and easy to see will pass directly over Utah. Look for the two to rise, with Discovery in the lead, in the southwest about 20:46, pass high in the sky (virtually straight overhead for observers in N. Utah) at about 20:49 and then fade from view low in the northeast about 20:51. Looks like they'll each pass very close (and for some areas right in front of) Vega at about 20:48:43. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com
