[Technology] International Space Station ?

[clapham_gull]

It was a unusually clear evening in London tonight. Not a cloud in the sky.

I was looking up at the moon around 6pm and noticed a flash of light very very high up in the sky. It was moving very fast and appeared and disappeared, moving east to west.

Definitely wasn't a plane or an escaped hen night balloon.

I know little of such things, but haven't seen anything like that in London. It was very usually clear.

Ball from Ulloa's penalty stupid.

On a serious note.

Probably this, the international space station times make me think it wasn't that.

I grew up in a "dark skies" village in Sussex where you see all sorts. Shooting stars, yeah whatever. Not such in London I'm afraid. The only thing you see in the Sky is the Police helicopter.

I've just moved (150 metres away) and one of things I really miss was the view of plans coming into Heathrow I had from my backyard.

However I'm getting a different view of planes going over the country now.

I was plane watching tonight and have never seen anything like that up here. That said, I can't remember a clearer evening in London.

Just aliens, could be worse.

I always like to see aeroplanes but my plans never work out. Glad you have better plans.

Top right of the image you can see The Amex.....

The city was snapped from aboard the International Space Station (ISS) by astronaut and Brighton University graduate Dr Sultan Al Neyadi.

Sultan, who graduated from the university in 2004, is among a team of astronauts taking part in a six-month expedition on board the ISS.

That image shows how laughable the name of our stands are.

Ooh. I can see my house.

Clearly showing the Earth is flat. The conspiracy theorists can chalk that up as a win

There is an app for watching the ISS . I was in a pub garden in Worthing a couple of years ago and I called out for everybody to look at the sky. It did not let me down and it arrived dead on time and everyone drunkenly cheered.

Ooh. I can see my house.

Ooh, so can I.
