[ValleyNature] Nice Earth Hour Pass of Space Station.

[Sherman Williams]

March 28th, during Earth Hour, there will be a nice high pass of the  
Space Station (especially high overhead for those in the north  
eastern part of NB, NS and all of PEI). Best part will be between  
8:57 and 8:59 at max altitude across northern half of sky. Between  
8:59 and 9:00 it hits Earth Shadow.   I wonder if they will note any  
difference in Earth lights below this evening?  The shuttle,  
Discovery,  landed successfully in Florida this afternoon.
