STS-135 The Final Space Shuttle Landing

So the shuttle program draws to a close tonight, only in a couple of hours. Was just wondering if anyone is going to watch the landing or not. I'm not sure but from this website -> http://www.n2yo.com/?s=37736|25544 we should be able to see a visible pass of the shuttle at 6:26pm, but it also predicts for passes after the landing time, so does that mean we will actaully be able to see a visible pass of the final shuttle tonight, and probably in it's third last, second last or final orbit around earth since landing time is around 9:30pm our time?

The de-orbit burn starts at around 8:30ish pm our time so it should stay roughly in the same orbit as predicted right?
Note: I would have edited this in the post above but the edit didn't seem to work.
