    Go to this link and click on your location (left side of page). You will get the location, direction and time of when you can look up & see both the space station and Discovery. Discovery undocked yesterday & the two are very close together. Discovery is on her last mission & lands Wednesday. After that, decomissioning & headed toward the Smithsonian.
    Very cool to look up & actually see them. Binoculars will give greater detail but the naked eye is fun.
