Anyone want to see a space station?

[Nibbler]

That was quite something!

Thanks for the heads up

Fantastic viewing this on a wonderfully clear and crisp evening.

 

[Easy 10]

6.53pm tomorrow for a FIVE minute showing guys, then 2 minutes at 8.29pm (if we're lucky again with the continuing clear nights).

It blows my mind that I can watch that go over once, then in a little over an hour and a half its orbited our entire planet at over 17,000mph, 5 miles per second, and flies over us again. I also LOVE the accuracy of the maths - the timings are always bang on.

Its been a real treat these last few nights. An uplifting treat.

anyone know what this is. It was in the western sky. It was quite bright but not as bright as Venus but brighter than the stars which are part of Leo (which is what I was trying to photograph). It was same size as one of the stars to the naked eye.

ELO on their way home after the tour was cancelled

Absolutely this I sent a message out to all my neighboughs about last nights fly past and their we all were at the allotted time all in our back gardens watching the sky we then proceeded to chat over the garden fences which are all so high no one can see over but it was nice to catch up across six gardens

It's this type of communal yet safe activity that is going to become an essential part of keeping us all sane and well, any other shared community ideas welcomed

Just watched it again. As mentioned above, it goes again at 8.29 but only 2 minutes. Get e-mail alerts every morning if it is going to go overhead via "spotthestation" if you register.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Hope some of you saw that.

 

[Simgull]

[nick c]

[GT49er]

Hope they're self-isolating ............................

Don't blink at 8.29 or else you will miss it!

 

[Skaville]

So where do we loom at 8:29 and where will it start end (I.e east to west)

I missed it. Just spent the last hour and a bit on the phone with my dad talking him through installing Facebook and Facebook Messenger onto his new laptop, and then showing him how to do video calls.

Honestly, it would've been easier to teach next doors dog how to speak russian.
