Satellite Tracker The SatNews editorial office always enjoys watching the passing satellites, and the ISS is amazing to view when it registers in the negative magnitude. This next week we are especially fortunate to be able to see the ISS at a -3.8 (while we have a slight break in the weather).

Remember, it's important to get outside and marvel at all there is around us and realize that your job contributes to much of what is up in the sky that makes all of this possible (now back to work . . .).
