    For the next 36 hours or so, these two will pass close to each other 
    "anywhere" on Earth.
    
    Tonight I have passes at 70+ degrees altitude, where their tracks among 
    the stars are parallell, just 0.2 degrees apart.
    But USA 129 is 4 min ahead of 186.
    Tomorrow they will be running virtually in parallell over Europe, but 7 
    degrees apart on a zenithal pass.
