As the ISS is old hat now, how about this bad-boy?

APOD: 2011 January 28 - NanoSail-D

saw it earlier and it was WELL bright. Its going over again at 20:13 so if its claer you should be able to see it although it won't be as bright because its now a bit later in the evening.

It falls back to earth in April / May so catch it while you can!
