21:52.... what's that in old money?

£21/10/5

 

[fossyant]

Got an app on my phone to spot it. It's great out when you get away from the city lights though. Certainly bright enough to spot in suburbia. Takes a couple of minutes to pass, but its like a high aircraft, with no blinking lights, just bright.

You can sign up to emails from nasa who tell you the time and date it will past over.

I'm pretty sure I saw it. Went right across the moon.

 

[bianchi1]

Cheers.

It was really clear and bright. Always a pleasure to see.

 

[welsh dragon]

It was patchy cloud here so didn't see anything. Boo hoo

 

[Stephen Piper]

Loved the way it faded into the earth's shadow.

 

[Doseone]

Patchy cloud here too but got a great view of it across the first half of the sky before it faded behind cloud. Showed my daughter, she was blown away.

Went very close to the Moon where I was. It's always nice to see it!
@welsh dragon - it's going to be visible each night for about a fortnight.
Use the link, type in where you are, and you'll get a list for the next few weeks.

Cool! Thanks for the heads up. That was great. But what were the other two lights that crossed its path at about a 90 degree angle but going much faster? There was no plane noise - couple of turbo seagulls maybe?

Many thanks for that. Much appreciated. I'll look forward to it

 

[TheDoctor]

You'll see it about a minute before I do, by and large.

Wow. That is fantastic. Absolutely brilliant.

I don't know.
If they crossed the ISS's path at 90 degrees or so, then that's something like a polar orbit.The ISS isn't quite over the Equator, but it's not far off an equatorial orbit. Could be one or other of the earth observation ones - there's quite a few looking at various stuff.
