SEE THE SPACE SHUTTLE THIS WEEK

Later today the Space Shuttle is undocking from the International Space Station, but you'll be able to see both flying side-by-side this week...with the naked eye!

Gasport residents can look skyward at 9:16 PM on Tuesday the 8th. The shuttle and ISS will start at WSW and travel across the sky at a 55 degree angle.

On Thursday the 10th, look skyward at 8:30 PM...at WSW and a 53 degree angle.

On both nights the spectacle will be a -3.5 magnitude which is VERY bright.
