I didn't see it tonight, but ive seen it do that on other passes. I think its due to the new solar panels.

Sent: Nov 26, 2009 7:02 PM I was driving home from SLC international this evening and watched ISS and shuttle fly over. As they flew into the east the shuttle started to fade but ISS, which was leading the way, suddenly got much brighter, much brighter than Jupiter which was nearby. similar to an Iridium flare. Anyone else see that? patrick _______________________________________________ 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 Sent from my BlackBerry.
