Tomorrow will be PRIME TIME

It'll be visible from 20.34 through till 20.38 (or 3 and a half mins to be more exact), travelling from SSW to ESE. Hopefully it'll be clear skies again like tonight.

clashes with a certain FOOTBALL match though Easy

Saw it briefly this time, not as good as the first viewing.
Tomorrows first pass will be a CRACKER if its clear skies.

 

[The Large One]

Couldn't see it.

I saw it, I think, it rose from the SW at the correct time but then seemed to disappear from view before it got overhead even though it was a clear sky.

Double cool as I'm reading Buzz Aldrin's autobiography at the mo.

 

[The Large One]

Looking at that chart thing, it'll be overhead in about five days.

I don't know if we saw it - Zef is still out there seeing things now.. I can hear oohs and aaaahs (I think they are jet planes)

We'll try again tomorrow... I love the Space Shuttle I do...

 

[jordanseagull]

Any ideas how fast it is travelling?

Also, is it meant to be smaller, or larger, than the ISS, which is visible even now?

Excited about tomorrow!
