THREAD UPDATE!

The ISS will be passing over TONIGHT at 7:54PM for around 3 minutes, it'll be quite bright tonight and then really bright tomorrow.

Put your details into here for more information.

For a trial run at seeing where it'll be download Stellarium.


--------Original post below--------


For those of you in the UK with a clear sky if you look west going east at 19:28 you will see the ISS whizzing across the sky.

I saw it last night for the first time. It's absolutely amazing, really bright, really big, really fast and utterly fascinating!

Cloudy skies tonight for me though. :(

Also if you look west about the same time you will see Venus and Jupiter. :)

It will be a large, bright point of light. Easily the brightest thing in the sky (well, besides the moon). And Venus is astoundingly bright about now.

If you can see Venus you will see it, it was brighter than Venus last night!

How much can you actually see from the ground? Wouldnt it just be a bright light in the sky like a slightly larger star?

Yep that's exactly what it is, a very bright blob and you know it's got people on it!

If that doesn't amaze then you have no wonder in your soul. :p
