Hello All,

So Space Camp has these really cool star blankets around their simulators that
turn on and off every 45 minutes to simulate when the orbiter/ISS moves onto
the light and dark side of the earth.  So I thought it would be really cool if
we could sincrinize the "star lights" with the REAL International Space
Station.

I can't find any websites that have that information (maybe you'd have better
luck).  I was wondering if anybody knows somebody at NASA or wherever that I
would know how to find that out...when the ISS will be going onto the light and
dark side of the earth.

I think the kids here would really love it

thanks,
