ISS, Tiangong, Satellites Over Puna

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

Tonight we should be able to spot a relatively bright (0.8 mag) pass of the Hubble Space Telescope. The satellite will rise in the southwest at 7:27 PM, then head directly toward Jupiter. For some perspective on what you'll see:

* The Hubble is about the size of a school bus at 43.5 feet long
* Inside it holds an 8 foot primary mirror
* It's orbit averages 353 miles above the earth.

From TomK's earlier post:
27th May: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) will make a pass that should be relatively easy to spot if the weather is good. It won't be as bright as the ISS passes and certainly not the Iridium flares, but should be bright enough to be easy to spot (it'll be brighter than most stars you can see). What really helps is it will pass extremely close to Jupiter, so just watch the planet between 19:31 and 19:32 that evening. It'll pass just north of Jupiter.
