Lots of interesting things taking place in the sky from February 20th on…
February 20th/21st is full moon in North America
February 20th/21st is “Blood Moon” or Lunar Eclipse in North America
Also:
SPY SATELLITE: Doomed spy satellite USA 193 is still orbiting Earth and making evening flybys of US towns and cities. Last night it passed over Bishop, California, "right on time," reports Ray Finch who was alerted by a Spaceweather phone call. Brightness estimates by experienced sky watchers range from magnitude +1.5 to -0.5, similar to the stars of Orion. USA 193 may grow even brighter if, as planned, the US Navy hits it with an Aegis missile after Feb. 20th. Stay tuned for updates
February 20th is Wednesday and according to Wikipedia: According to the Hebrew Bible, Wednesday is the day when the Sun and Moon were created.
ISS Update: Atlantis has undocked from the ISS and the "double flybys" have begun. Amateur astronomer Ashmeet Singh sends this photo and a movie recorded less than an hour ago in New Delhi, India
Atlantis is scheduled to land Wednesday morning. Both the Kennedy Space Center and the backup landing site in California will be ready; the space agency wants the shuttle down that day to give the military enough time to destroy a damaged spy satellite.
Blessings,
Tony
