Cool, I just saw the ISS!
Cool, I just saw the ISS!
The International Space Station just passed over Seattle. It was visible 8:48 to 8:52, heading from SW towards NE. Then, rather suddenly, just past straight overhead, it went dark. It is about 200 miles up, and then passed into the shadow of the Earth. |

For unknown reasons, I felt I was in a rush to get this posted. But obviously, by the time I sent it,,,, there was no rush, the ISS was then in the dark. So,,, I made some mistakes. error #1, the times were 6:48 to 6:52 Pacific ST, I've no idea why I mistyped it. omission -- And, although there are a variety of sites, and websites that tell people when and where they can see the ISS (International Space Station - great big honker, and real bright also!!) pass over their location,,, I'd gotten a big tip! The TV weather guy was on a roof telling us watchers to get ready! So I did! And later, through the wonders of dvr technology, and play back, I replayed it & saw him watching it and talking about it. |

It was some kind of satellite. More likely the mothership from planet Vorgon-B. Though I'm sure NASA will deny it |
