One week and counting...

to the tentative launch date for space shuttle Discovery: March 11th at 6:20 pm PDT according to this NASA announcement. Night launches are always spectacular.

The timing of launch, if it goes as planned, is favorable for North American sky watchers who will be able to see the ISS and Discovery flying in tandem through the night sky. I'll post information regarding viewing opportunities when the mission launches next week.
