NASA says residents across North America today may have an opportunity to see three spacecraft cross the night sky, two of them with astronauts on board. In the lead will be space shuttle Endeavour, trailed by the International Space Station a few seconds later.
Then, a few minutes behind will be the unmanned Progress 34 Russian cargo spacecraft, which is scheduled to dock with the station around 7:15 a.m. Wednesday.
Click here to see when the spacecraft are passing overhead. Then put your cursor over "Realtime Data" and click on "Sighting Opportunities" in the drop-down menu.
From there, you can select your local community for a list of times and the right place to look in the sky.

The "click here" appears to be broken.
Sorry, the link should work now.
And for those of us in Central Florida, there's also an opportunity for HST (Mag 1.5) at 22:04...
And James where's the hat tip for the source of the article?
