Kewl. I've seen both before but several years ago . The thing that is nice is that they are moving fast enough that the movement helps you pick them out easily from the nearly stationary appearing stars.

It should be a great night to see , I missed the Fri. one it was overcast, I've seen 2 space shuttles go over in the past, yes they do move fast so it's kinda easy to see if your looking in the right spot . It will be on time so be ready.

Saw it last summer at night but this was better, must have something to do with being so close to sunset. Seemed bigger.

I think that was one of the best views I had, it surely was the longest path across the entire sky. That 1st appearance next to Venus was cool.
The only better view was when the station and shuttle were flying in tandem shortly after the shuttle undocked from the station. |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.
