http://www.n2yo.com/passes/?s=25544 click on this link first
then click on #7 "DRAW"
and see the path and the yellow portion will be
the length of pass that is visible from 92069 zip code
This will be an almost 10 minute visible pass
along the West Coast......It will be one of the
brightest "stars" in the western sky.
It will run from WNW to WSW at around 64 degrees
elevation. Starting around 7:22 and ending around 7:32 pm.
There is a rather bright half moon that might
make some of the pass hard to distinguish.
Yes, there is a variation in the mag (magnitude)
listings for these two separate tracking web
sites but it still should be very visible.

Your kids and/or Grand kids might really enjoy
watching it pass. It will not be very far off the coastline.

It keeps me in awe to think of what the space
age has brought forth and to think that there are people up there looking down
at the mass of lights all along the U.S.A. ('s
West Coast) and perhaps wondering how many people down on earth are looking
up to watch them pass by.
Hope some of you find it of interest and
enjoyable and will see this pass or future passes visible in your area.
