US space shuttle Discovery US Mission Specialist Robert Curbeam works on the S0 truss of the International Space Station at the beginning of the third planned spacewalk. Discovery astronauts began a space walk to finish rewiring the International Space Station, a delicate and complex task that has dominated the 12-day mission.(AFP/NASA)
They are actually heading up to the array right now to take a look at it.
My children and I just watched the shuttle cross the night sky over north Georgia. It happened at about 6:26, it lasted a few minutes and it was soooo cool! How bright and fast it was! Great memory.
Thanks!
hopefully , they can get it done right now,,
Thanks for the sighting report,, it is supposedly going to be visible for a couple days to some folks here in the states. we're cloudy and getting ready to rain out here
Although a strong aurora was predicted for here in Fairbanks last night, none was sighted. Any sightings farther south?
Was watching spacewalk on NASA channel. One of the astronauts dropped their camera. Before she noticed, it was gone, even though it was only 10-20 feet away. Scary. Wonder how much that camera was worth? Looked pretty expensive.
Probably top of the line and modified for EVA use. $100,000 would be the minimum.
Have been watching........ Sure wish our cable offered the NASA channel thought.........
Not that I am aware of , I'll see if I see any good new pics on the net,, , weather has messed up visibility out ehre plus I turn in at night and forget to get up and look. :-)
grommet #12 must die. :-D
they are shaking the heck out of the array. gonna regroup and they may have to hang it up as sunset is approaching
Thanks! Beautiful stuff!
lots of aurora images here

Having spent most of my life in OH and IN I have had the occasion over my life to see an Aurora; but what I would give to see it like that!
