ISS visible

[Ken L]

A mate has just rung me to say that he watched the ISS go overhead tonight and then sent me this link showing where it is in real time and that the next orbit will take it more or less directly overhead for Newt and to the south for us.

Obit times are very rapid though so it should be visible for in in less than an hour.

Go on, if it's there you can't really miss it.

Aout now!

At the time you posted, yess it would have been about there. Big, bright amd moving accross the sky at a fair old lick.

I popped out just as I posted but the local football club had all its floodlights on and I could only make out the brightest starts directly above me and nothing at all to the south where the lights were.

Just put in your town and it will give you the times of various satellites for a week, or more, including the light intensity, (brightness, is measured in minus form...-5 is brighter than +1)

Good site Bob.

There's an iPhone app for NASA, too.

 

I couldn't see it, but a friend recently followed the shuttle when it was docked and then leaving it.
