ISS and Venus coming up

Just read the following and thought some of you may be interested...

On the Morning of Monday 20th March (Melbourne and Sydney) or Sunday 19th March (Adelaide and Hobart) the International Space Station will
glide past Venus.

Times:
Adelaide: 19 March Closest approach 6:18 ACDST, Mag 0.7
Hobart: 19 March Closest approach 5:13 AEDST, Mag 0.6
Melbourne: 20 March Closest approach 5:38 AEDST, Mag 0.6
Sydney: 20 March Closest approach 5:40 AEDST, Mag 0.7

Cheers,
Chris
