                          Zip: 95050 Location: Santa Clara, Calif Latitude: 37.3 2008-03-30 Satellite Rise time Direction to look Transit time Units are degrees and values range from 0 (at the horizon itself) to 90 degrees
(straight overhead). For instance, a maximum elevation of 45 degrees means
that the spacecraft will soar over your location about
half-way between the horizon and the zenith.')" style="BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; WIDTH: 50pt; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent" width=67>Max elevation sky. To a novice, the scale may seem upside down: Small numbers are
bright, while big numbers are dim. The dimmest star a person can see
is 6th magnitude; 5th magnitude is a little brighter and so on. A 1st
magnitude star is quite bright but not the brightest of all. The most
intense objects in the heavens have negative magnitudes. The
International Space Station, for instance, is registers magnitude -3
or -4, while the full Moon comes in at magnitude -13!
