Anyone want to see a space station?

[Pevenseagull]

.....specifically The International Space Station?
....If you're in Sussex look to the west in 5minutes and wave at them XXX .... It's a particularly good viewing ...not quite as good as the one just after midnight .....
BUT.......

...No moon. Warm night, down on the beach in moderate darkness ....... looking at a few tin cans and tubes with people doing stuff.

Exceptional

By pure accident I am certain I just witnessed the ISS go by. Looking at the ISS tracker, seems about right. Far too high and quiet to be a commercial jet.

It doesn't make any noise, unless the radio is turned up.

Should also get a good view of Ulloas penalty ball, which is stuck to one of the antenna!

Damn I missed it.
Must have been in the wrong spot.

Hopefully the smoke from the Lewes fire won't affect this.

I'm off outside in a moment - Question Time on pause.

Amazing! Perfect night for it!

 

[whitelion]

Absolutely fantastic.

Sky clear and lots of twinkling stars - then from the SW comes the ISS and impressive it was - would have loved to see it through a telescope.

Almost looked as if it passed overhead.

 

[skipper734]

spot on . Very clear tonight. No smoke down this far west.

 

[portlock seagull]

I think you can get before it reaches our small moon...

 

[symyjym]

It's amazing how bright it is.

I've been trying to spot it for years, realise now I've been looking in the wrong direction. My garden faces south so assumed it would be low on the horizon looking southwards but not tonight, I happened to look virtually overhead but northwards when I saw what must have been it as it was travelling west to east. It appeared to be triangular shape or at least the lights were, could one of you guys confirm if that is what it was, cheers
