Following a tip from Spaceweather.com, I got outside around 7:20am and
found a nice southern horizon. In the brightening morning twilight, suddenly from just to the west of the moon came the spacecraft. From my location it was traveling just south of the moon, just north of Saturn, and travelling east at a high rate of orbital motion. The craft was tumbling, and varied in brightness greatly. At times it was nearly as bright as Jupiter, and other times it was nearly invisible. Pretty cool. But does this portend bad weather? You know the old saying.. "Red Skies at morning..." ![]() |
