That bugger is moving pretty danged fast. Grandkids really liked seeing it.

I've done that with the kids and grandkids, pretty neat.

Very cool to see. You can check when it's visible in your area here -

Is it a lot brighter than a typical satellite? I've watched those go.

Thats Awesome!!!

Probably already passed me then lol

Watched that about a year ago this Thanksgiving at my brother's house for the first, few weeks or so ago i was out back having a smoke before daylight and just happened to look up and saw it again going by, id of not known what it was had i not been at my brother's and they pointed it out but YEA that sucker is moving on, crazy we have people living in that thing in space!

Yes, it was visible from 6:18 to 6:21.

I should have been looking up while I was pouring out that corn

A lot of young folks don't get impressed by something like that or potential space travel to planets seems like its been here and no big thing. I remember watching the moon landing in 1969 going out and looking at the moon with binoculars and being amazed at what we did. Wonder where we will be with it in another 50 years Elon Musk has sure made head way with it with the Falcon and space X program very impressive.

about 200 miles i
NASA's web site will check the telemetry from the space station and gather its exact latitude and longitude as it orbits about 200 miles over the Earth, traveling 17,500 miles an hour, making one full orbit every hour and a half.

Cool stuff.

Yes, it is said to be the third brightest object in the sky behind the sun and the moon. Even brighter than Venus.

Watching the night sky and satellites is a favorite summer camp/family activity. Ever see the Milky Way galaxy?

Can't say for sure, Lug, and if so, only with the naked eye.

That's what i meant. It can be seen on dark nights in a dark area. At first it looks like a faint cloud.

That's cool

For you science geeks , I can't wait until the James Webb telescope gets launched in it's latest projected date of October 31st 2021
That thing is going to make the Hubble look like a Cracker Jack magnifying glass.

I'm all for moving to another planet -- this one is toast.

Try this site, has some cool events.
