I got to see the Space Shuttle Discovery (http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/03/see-the-shuttle.html) flyby tonight and wondered if anyone else got a glimpse?

If you like that kinda stuff, you can find out what interesting things will be passing over your head by searching the Space Weather (http://spaceweather.com/flybys/) site.

Nice!

My husband is a keen aerospace enthusiast. He also recommends a few NASA sites along the same lines (sites through which you can track satellites, etc.):
