Unscheduled double flare
Completely by chance, observed a bright double flare at about
0020 UT Oct 1, from between Washington DC and Richmond VA looking NE, appearing between gamma and epsilon Cass, both about the same brightness, brighter than mag 0 and about 2 degrees apart, almost vertically oriented to each other, then fading as they traveled toward the NE horizon. Heavens Above had no prediction for that time. It was a fun, unexpected spectacle. I can't imagine it being anything other than a pair of Iridiums. -- Glenn Holliday |
