Look, up in the sky: It's a double fly-by.

No longer docked at the International Space Station, the space shuttle Atlantis remains close by, and together tonight they'll sail across the sky.

Spaceweather.com reports that Atlantis disengaged today at 4:53 a.m. It's to land Friday morning, so the double fly-by's to continue Thanksgiving night, a bright sight for astronomers, stargazers and astronaut lovers.
