Bay Area Gets Chance to See Space Station

If the skies are clear on March 8th, folks in the Bay Area will have a chance to spot the space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station.

The two will pass over the area around 7:25 p.m. PST on March 8th. The shuttle and station which are 220 miles above the Earth's surface will look like a brighter star in the sky, approaching from the northwest, fly overhead and head southeast, says Space Ref.

Sky-watchers will be able to track the position of the crafts,with the NASA App available for the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. The apps will let users find and share current visible sightings, and is free at the iTunes App Store.
