    Space Station

    I was walking in from the shed a few minutes ago and happened to look up and noticed a bright light moving across the sky. I just thought I would pass on a link to Heavens Above http://www.heavens-above.com/?Loc=Pa...Alt=183&TZ=EST which gives pass information. If you set the page up to your locale you can schedule a minute to watch it go over too. This pass it was appeared much brighter than Venus and it doesn't blink like normal aircraft.
    Sometimes the old man passed out and left the am radio on so I got to hear the oldie songs and current event kind of things

    I caught a glimpse of the Space Station some time back, near sunset - you have to be in the right place at the right time to get that full reflection of the sunlight off the solar panels. Very cool to see.

      I saw it a couple of months ago when the shuttle was still attached. I was early in the morning as the sun was just starting to come up. You could see the shape of it pretty well especially with solar panel extended. It was hauling ++++ from the Northwest to the South East. Lasted about 5 minuets. I Remember many years ago seeing Sputnik not well but you could tell it wasn't a star.

        My son catches it big-time on his telescope from time to time... It's very interesting.
