Space Station

[arriva1]

Just wondered if any eagle eyed Stag owners have seen the space station yet ?

Next sighting will be at 9.49 PM going from E to W and should be visible for 4 min..unless cloud like where I live in the North

Yes it passed over our house last year. Its bigger in the sky that you might expect, so much so it looked like an aeroplane, but there is obviously no noise.

The link seems to suggest it will go W to E not E to W?

Wherever it is we'll have a look as it's crystal here at the moment.

No Sorry, we were too busy passing the binoculars around. 4 mins isn't very long for everyone to get a look.

Cheers Trev, we managed to see it between the clouds. Thanks for pointing out the opportunity.

Saw it again tonight - a much better view as there was hardly any cloud. It looks like a single light source with the naked eye but with a bit of help from binoculars you can see that it isn't. The best way that I can describe it is that it looks like it is coffee bean shaped, two bright halves separated by a dark strip. Defo worth standing out in a cold breeze to watch. Thanks again Trev.
