Visit Old Capitol
Tallahassee, Florida
Sunday, June 26, 2011; 12:45 to 1:45 PM
We visited Old Capitol Building in Tallahassee as part of a school project called “My Hometown Tallahassee”. We learned about the building and its renovations and modifications. We also learned that the building used to hold all three branches of the government mid nineteenth century.
Even though only part of the original building is kept but the standing structure has been renovated look like the old one.

First day for Leon County Schools and Tallahassee Colleges

First day for Leon County Schools and Tallahassee Colleges
Monday, August 24, 2009
Tallahassee, FL
Today was one of the special days when all Leon County Schools (Elementary, Middle, and High) as well as FSU, FAMU, and TCC opened for classes for the Fall term. Usually the colleges open a week earlier than the schools but the simultaneous opening meant there were lot of students and parents on the road (in addition to the regular commuters) than most of the days.
This year’s streamlining of school bus schedule (one time for all High schools (7:30 AM), Middle schools (9:30 AM), and Elementary schools (8:30 AM) also contributed to higher density of vehicles on the road during the busy morning commute.

Spotted the International Space Station with Shuttle

International Space Station with Shuttle
Fly-by on night sky
Tallahassee, FL 32317; 9:53 PM
We were able to spot the International Space Station, with Space Shuttle (Endeavor) still attached to it, fly-by on the night sky just over Tallahassee and Florida. First we looked at a plane (obviously with red light and blinking lights) then we started to track a very bright object moving very fast and when we checked the web page it was the correct time.
It was really bright for about a minute tracking from North West toward South. Then as it flew above us and toward SE it quickly faded and was almost lost from our observation. When we looked at the sun’s light fading, it is likely that we were able to see the ISS as a bright object as it was still reflecting the bright sunlight.
We will try to track it again tomorrow, this time around 10:15 PM
To get the real-time position go to: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/index.html [You need Java 6SE to see it; one can download it free from www.java.com]
To find out when it will fly-over your town go to: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/index.html [Then select the country, state, and town]
