The Internation Space Station flies over Birmingham, AL!

Yesterday evening, a number of us gathered on the top of the parking deck to watch the brightly shining International Space Station (with Shuttle docked and two astronauts space walking outside the station) pass rapidly over the Magic City. Last night at home, I quickly made a one-minute video of the event. The voice you hear is that of our own Ben Moon whose wonder and excitement is evident as he phones a friend and spontaneously reacts to the spectacle. It is that sense of wonder and excitement that inspires our visitors and makes McWane Science Center a better place.

I watched the ISS pass over my house last night here on Long Island in New York (about 5:30pm, EST. I didn't even think to bring my camcorder outside. It was really bright. Thanks for posting this! :)

I think the exact same thing every time I see the ISS pass over. Good Catch!
