Space Station and Hubble Telescope Pass

We had a double treat here in Central Texas tonight - the ISS and Hubble Space Telescope both made a pass overhead at about 9:10 pm.

The Hubble Telescope appeared first, although it was difficult to spot for some time at only a magnitude of -0.5 and the light pollution of Austin. The ISS, however, was very bright and easy to spot, at a magnitude of -2.5.
