ISS in the sky tonight.

OMG.  I was outside watching (yet again) the International Space Station fly overhead (-3.3 mag), when I was surprised.  I saw a much fainter object (0.9 mag) trailing the ISS.  Aha, it had to be a cargo ship!  Sure enough, I checked and the HTV-4 was getting ready to dock.

Talk about freaking awesome!!!

ISS -- the big dot in the middle.  HTV-4 -- the smaller one in the upper-right.
