TUCSON, AZ (KOLD) - Shuttle Atlantis landed safely in Florida at 7:44 AM (Arizona time) this Black Friday morning.

And tonight you can check out where the astronauts aboard Atlantis came from, the ISS.

Tonight look to the WNW at 6:35 PM.

About 1/3rd of the way up in the sky you will see a very bright light moving quickly.

That is the International Space Station.

We saw it in Phoenix. It was pretty cool.

We also saw it but from PP. Light clouds but it was great. I did not realize how fast it moved. I knew the speed but did not expect it to visually be that fast. And then to think there are people up there in a machine built by low bid.
