Space Shuttle & ISS flyover

Space Shuttle
I got to witness the Space Shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station fly over Australia this evening. What a treat! The sky was clear. Right after sunset a bright object arched across the northern horizon about 40 degrees. It was moving fast. It took 4 minutes to go across the sky.

As it flew over Australia, an astronaut was outside fixing the underside of the shuttle. I couldn't see him though ;-)

Still. This was thrill. It it very rare that occurance to be able to see from Perth.
