End of an Era: Visually observing ISS and Shuttle flying in formation

Amazing!

At 0839UTC, observing from Barbados, I saw what is, in my opinion,...The ninth wonder of the modern World....

Saw both the Shuttle and the ISS, flying in formation. Just a fraction of a second apart, but both dots of light clearly visible.

ISS was shining brilliantly. Almost as bright as Jupiter (which it appeared to pass close to from my viewing location). The shuttle was leading it by just a half, or quarter of a second or so.

Perfect view for the first half of the pass. The second half, from the highest point all the way down to the horizon, was obscured by cloud.
