International Space Station

Ok, one for all you geeks out there :yawn:

Here is the International Space Station (ISS) as it passed over us this evening at Lossiemouth. Picture is blurred because we are still learning out to focus in the dark :doh:



The ISS is going to be very bright for the whole of this month and it is definitely worth trying to see if you can.

If you visit this website and put in your location, it will give you the where and whens of its various passes. Plus, in 14 days the shuttle will undock and you may be able to see them both one after the other.

You are looking for a bright star, travelling at some speed across the sky - once you spot it, you can't miss it!! :thumbs:

Are you bored now :thinking:

Re: International Space Station

Thank you Carol :blushing:

Sorry Helen, had a senior moment :rollingeyes: I find out about them through the astronomy club which I am unfortunately Chairman of!!

Was looking on Heavens Above last night to get the timings etc to show my nephew when I am down next week. Realised it was twice as bright down there as it is here - would look like a headlight in the sky!

Carol, are you sure about your timings, think you might have gone wrong somewhere because I check my sister and she is further south than you - was around same time as me :dunno:
