Shuttle, Space Station Were Visible From North Escambia Saturday PM
June 8, 2008
The space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station were visible Saturday night as they moved across the skies of North Escambia.
The shuttle and connected ISS were visible on the horizon in the northwest from 9:43 p.m. until it moved north and disappeared at 9:45. It looked like a bright star traveling quickly across the night sky.
Discovery and the ISS are still docked after finished their much publicized toilet repair earlier in the week.
Pictured above: An exclusive NorthEscambia.com time lapse photo of the space shuttle Discover as it passed over Walnut Hill Saturday night. It appears as the line because it was moving in the time lapse photo while the other stars appear to remain stationary.
