Look up in the sky in the wee hours of August 6 and 7th -- if you're in the right locale and don't have cloud cover, you'll be able to view the Space Shuttle
Discovery and the International Space Station (ISS) as they orbit overhead. The Space Shuttle will be undocking from the ISS in several hours, so by the 6th and 7th the two vehicles will be separated but both with be visible from certain portions of Texas, south Florida, and near the Mississippi River Delta.
