Rocket Launch and ISS pass visible locally tonight

A rocket launch is scheduled tonight from NASA's facility on Wallops Island, VA. It should be visible locally, weather permitting. For context, here's a photo of one from campus last fall: http://gettysburgskies.blogspot.com/2013/11/minotaur-sighting.html The link below has all the details, but basically you want to get to a place with a flat southeast horizon at launch time. Follow NASA-Wallops on facebook or twitter too, as the launch can be delated or scrubbed. http://www.nasa.gov/content/how-to-view-the-antares-launch-oct-27/#.VE46gfnF_nh Almost simultanelusly, the International Space Station will fly over the mid-Atlantic. This is not unusual, but you do need to know where and when to look.  http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/sightings/view.cfm?country=United_States&region=Pennsylvania&city=Gettysburg#.VE5Ak_nF_ng Clear Skies! ------------------------ Ian Clarke Lab Instructor II (Astronomy) Hatter Planetarium Program Director Adjunct Assistant Professor of English Gettysburg College http://public.gettysburg.edu/~iclarke/hatter/index.html Hatter Planetarium on Twitter: @GCPlanetarium
