Re: Seeing the International Space Station

I too have a good view of it last night, it was low enough I could watch from my seat on the sofa viewing through the veluxses (sp?)

Not as close as when I spotted it last week though, felt I could have reached out and touched it last week

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Missy when you saw this ISS sighting when you were visiting the loo, did it look like this by any chance

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Ha ha

It's like I said to you, it was really huge. Last night it was like seeing a ping pong ball, last week a tennis ball. It's the only way I can discribe how large it was. Most it's so far away it's like just a normal star size or even an aeroplane light


But definitely no flying pigs nor cows in the vicinity

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

That's not the space station, that's the Moooooooooon.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Noooooooooooooo

I saw the Space Station and Mars that night. And I was awake, I even gave myself a pinch to make sure and got my glasses to make sure I was seeing right

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Another loo visit in the night and I noticed a planet looking quite large and bright at around 2 am due south about 45deg. Any ideas anyone? It looked too white for Mars although I understand Mars is very close at the moment too.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Jupiter is meant to be really bright at the moment , thats south I think???

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

There is the clue! you put your glasses on, no wonder they look massive out of focus just as well you did not accidently shove Arthur out of the window
I still think it was a UFO after your cat

That could have been Saturn as that is up there at the moment as well, unless it was the star Altair? this is what is up there at 2am

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

I think Jupiter might have set by that time...sets at 00:17am

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

All I know is, it appeared approx 2mm to the naked eye.

(the rest of me was naked too but the less said about that the better)
