Hopefully the skies stay fair enough this evening to see the Jules Verne and International Space Station around 7:44pm/7:45pm this evening. Both craft will appear almost overhead in the western sky and will be heading to the 
northeast. They should be viewable for about 3 minutes, but they’ll probably be darting in and out behind some of the clouds this evening. The European Space Agency’s Jules Verne Supply Ship is 1200 miles ahead of the ISS and will appear about 1 minute before the space station. The supply ship will dock with the ISS on April 3. We may not get to see these satellites for a couple of weeks after tomorrow evening, and tomorrow night it will be harder to see, so grab the kids tonight if you haven’t already done so.

Well Rob, I just spent about twenty minutes outside being chewed alive by mosquitoes, and all I saw was some stars and a planet. Which isn’t bad, but not quite what I was expecting.
