</div>I didn't realize the astronauts were outside when it passed by.<br>
That's cool!<br>
<br>
Did anyone else manage to catch it? I got the entire family<br>
outside our house and my wife found it before it reached apogee.<br>
We then watched it as it went up and then down behind the trees.<br>
It was quite bright (magnitude -1.8 according to <a href="http://heavens-above.com" target="_blank">heavens-above.com</a>)<br>
and clearly visible in the twilight.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
