On Tuesday, March 8th 2011 I heard about a space event. I called all my friends to watch with me. We gathered around to see the Discovery Space Shuttle and the International Space Station.
At 7:25pm, we saw something that looked like a shooting star. It was the Discovery Space Shuttle! We were so amazed as it was so tiny in the sky. Two minutes later, we saw another object like the shooting star, it was the International Space Station. We could see its wings. They both flew from Northwest to Southeast.
We all cheered except for my brother who kept trying to runaway. It was a spectacular sight! The space program is soon coming to an end in the US, so it was great to see the Discovery as it prepares to land in Florida tomorrow.
For more about the International Space Station and Discovery Space Shuttle, you can refer the NASA website or Wikipedia.
