DOUBLE FLYBY ALERT: Space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to undock from 
the International Space Station on Wednesday morning, June 11th, at 7:42 
am EDT. This means many sky watchers will be able to see the two 
spaceships flying in tandem, separate but closely-spaced points of 
light, gliding among the stars on Wednesday night. Double flybys will 
continue on Thursday the 12th and to a lesser extent on Friday the 13th, 
with Discovery returning to Earth on Saturday. Southeastern parts of the 
United States (e.g., Miami and Atlanta) are favored with some 
particularly good apparitions. Check our Simple Flybys tool to find out
