Default Iss & Sts 120

The ISS made a nice flyover today, followed 9 minutes later by the Space Shuttle, which is catching up to the ISS.

I took several 30-second photos and pasted them together. The ISS is obvious. The Shuttle is dimmer, but is obvious in my photo because the sky was a little darker 9 minutes later, so my crops stand out. It is below the ISS. Since they're in the same orbital plane, this shows how much the Earth rotates in 9 minutes.
