[AZ-Observing] Shuttle and ISS Pass Tonight

The Orbiter and the ISS undocked this morning, and will both make low-altitude 
passes over Arizona skies tonight.  Heavens Above shows a maximum altitude of 
12 degrees above the north-northeast horizon for Tempe for both craft.  The 
Shuttle Orbiter passes over at 9:06:11 MST, and it followed by the ISS 18 
seconds later at 9:06:29 MST.  It looks like the prospects for seeing both in 
the sky at the same time are slim.

Since the closest point on the ground track is in Colorado, the altitudes will 
be higher for those who live farther north or east in Arizona.
