The ISS will eclipse Jupiter around 9:30 EDT tonite. The path of totality is only 80 meters wide, but anyone along the east coast will see (weather permitting) the meeting of the two bright objects.

Damn,

Clouds rolled in about 30 minutes ago, so I missed the pass by. But my girlfriend near Harrisburg, PA saw it. I seem to have no luck. I was in central PA for the great Leonid meteor shower of 2001, and at 11PM skies were very transparent. Sure enough, at 3AM , fog had rolled in, and I missed probably the greatest shower of my life. Of course back here on Long Island it was clear.
