The Hubble Space Telescope has been visible orbiting overhead in my location for the past several days.  Magnitude 2.1, about as bright as the stars of the Big Dipper.  In addition to seeing a nice meteor this morning, watching the Hubble zip across the sky is a great way to start my day.

To find satellite flybys in your area, go to http://www.spaceweather.com/flybys and enter your zip code.  They also have an international directory.
