Did anyone locally see this? I'm curious because of how close it happened after sunset . . .  patrick

Yes, it was easily visible in the twilight sky.  The only objects visible around nautical twilight were Jupiter, Venus and the ISS-Shuttle.  No stars could be seen.  The ISS-Shuttle was between Jupiter and Venus in magnitude.  Anything lower than mag 0 or maybe mag -1 would not have been visible. I haven't checked on the magnitude of tonight's 30 deg alt overpass at 5:56pm. - Kurt
