There goes the ISS

The International Space Station put on a particularly fine showing tonight, passing right overhead. There was just a little thin broken cloud, which may explain the brightness variations.

Thanks so much for your kind comments, Janet. Yes, the ISS is in a fairly low orbit so it really does cover the sky quickly. When we lived in the bush we often watched satellites on a clear night (more exciting than the TV:)). I'd highly recommend that anyone interested visit this site for satellite and astronomical information: www.heavens-above.com . If you want to be really bowled over, look for a bright Iridium flare (I'll post an old shot, but hope for a better shot soon).
