Endeavour- ISS

It was a lovely site.

It was so bright, I thought at first it must be an airplane.

It was like Venus moving briskly across the sky.

Space Shuttle Endeavour is docked with the International Space Station. They passed overhead shortly after a quarter past six this evening, magnitude -1.9 (predicted, 18:19 PST maximum elevation), shining brightly against the background of the stars. I only wish I'd been in a truly dark location, rather than here in the city.
