Space Station passes over Ohio sky

Posted on by

CLEVELAND - It will be as bright as the brightest star in the sky Tuesday night. The International Space Station (ISS) will once again make a prime pass right over northern Ohio this evening. So, grab your sweaters and get ready.

The pass begin at 8:28 p.m. EDT in the southwest sky. You'll see the planet Venus nearby. The ISS will be just as bright. How will you tell the difference? Venus won't be speeding across the sky at warp speed. The bright MOVING object is the Space Station. It will take about 5 minutes to reach its peak in the night sky directly above you. That will occur at 8:33 p.m. EDT. Soon after that, the ISS moves out of the light and should fade very quickly.

Can't see the show Tuesday? Don't worry. The Space Station will make the more passes across northern Ohio this week.

Wednesday evening will provide another show. That will begin at 7:40 p.m. with the satellite appearing in the southwest sky. It will then skirt across the sky before fading at 7:50 p.m. in the northeast sky.

On Friday, the ISS pass begins at 7:41 p.m. in the southwest sky. The pass will end 10 minutes later at 7:51 p.m. in the northeast sky.

Another VERY BRIGHT viewing opportunity occurs this Saturday. The satellite will first appear at sunset, 6:53 p.m. in the southwest sky. it will travel directly overhead and then fade in the northeast sky at 7:03 p.m.. Enjoy!

Space Station Crosses the Sun in Amazing Photo

Posted on by

Astrophotographer Dale Mayotte recently sent SPACE.com this spectacular composite photo of the International Space Station crossing the face of the sun.

While Mayotte only submitted the image recently, he actually took the 19 photos that were combined to create the stunning composite view of the International Space Stationand sun on June. 19 from his backyard in Clinton Twp., Mich. at 5:28 p.m.local time.

"I have been trying to get this photo opportunity for a couple of years, but it seems that every time I would get the chance it was either cloudy or the orbit of the ISS would change by a tiny amount and the crossing was no longer in my area. It was either out in the middle of the Lake east of my location or further east into Canada," Mayotte wrote SPACE.com in an email. [Photos: Space Station and Other Spaceships Seen from Earth]

"This is the one and only time everything worked out perfectly and the wait was well worth it."

Mayotte used an 11-inch CelestronCPC telescope with a Baader white light solar filterand a Canon Rebel T1icamera with a yellow filter to give the sun a hint of the color we would see with our eyes. He used the websitesHeavens Abovefor the time andCalSkyto learn the path of crossing.

"It was a beautiful sight to see and was even more awesome knowing that six humans were aboard traveling 17,500 miles per hour (28,163 km/h) some 200 miles (321 km) above our tiny little world," Mayotte said.

NASA ban on Chinese scientists 'inaccurate': lawmaker

Posted on by

Washington (AFP) - A decision by NASA to bar Chinese scientists from an upcoming conference was deemed "inaccurate" Tuesday by the US congressman who wrote the law on which the restriction is based.

The US space agency's announcement that Chinese nationals would not be permitted to enter the Second Kepler Science Conference on exoplanets at California's Ames Research Center November 4-8 sparked a boycott by some prominent US astronomers.

"In good conscience, I cannot attend a meeting that discriminates in this way. The meeting is about planets located trillions of miles away, with no national security implications," Geoff Marcy, an astronomy professor at the University of California, Berkeley, wrote in an email to the organizers.

The restriction is based on a law passed in 2011 and signed by President Barack Obama that prevents NASA funds from being used to collaborate with China or to host Chinese visitors at US space agency facilities.

The legal language was inserted into a funding bill by Congressman Frank Wolf, who chairs the House Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies.

The law bans NASA funds from being used to work "bilaterally in any way with China or any Chinese-owned company" or being "used to effectuate the hosting of official Chinese visitors at facilities belonging to or utilized by NASA," according to a copy of the legal text sent to AFP by Wolf's office.

However, Wolf's office issued a letter to NASA Administrator Charles Bolden on Tuesday seeking to correct an article on the matter that first appeared Friday in The Guardian newspaper, as well as NASA's stance.

"Unfortunately, the article is riddled with inaccuracies, as is, it appears, the guidance provided by NASA Ames staff to the attendees," said the letter.

The law "primarily restricts bilateral, not multilateral, meetings and activities with the Communist Chinese government or Chinese-owned companies," it said.

"It places no restrictions on activities involving individual Chinese nationals unless those nationals are acting as official representatives of the Chinese government."
