See the shuttle and space station in S. FL

The linked shuttle and space station will be visible Tuesday Novemeber 18 in our area.  I saw a blog post on Florida Today and thought I should find out exactly when it will be available in our area.

I ran the specifics on NASA's online tool called Skywatch for this kind of stuff.  Basically, just look southwest around 6:55 PM on Tuesday and you'll see it travel up for only a few minutes.  I think you'll be able to see it with the naked eye.  It should look like a bright planet or star in the sky.  The specifics are in the tables at the end of the post.

Let me know if you see it!
