[JIM_BOB7813]

Think I just seen it. Or was that a plane :\, it moved really fast and looked like a star.

Rollox... phone rang and I missed it AGAIN.

It was a woman... you know how it is.

Check out the gallerys of STS-118 and view the high res pictures, very detailed pictures.

Just to add to this. I live in the South East and saw what could have only been the ISS pass by directly overhead from west to east just after 10pm on Sunday. We were getting ready for the Perseids.

This thing was as bright (if not brighter) than an aircrafts landing lights as it earily approached at some rate of knots.

Thanks for posting.
Also, looking forward to the ever increasing probability of seeing F-BTSD overhead at some point - know you did loads for the Vulcan TTS project. Nice one mate.

Bah, I miss this every time.

 

[Greenlizard0]

May as well put this here - but there were 4 massive solar eruptions recently, strong enough to cause 'non polar auroras' on Earth.

Anybody know/see anything?
