Spot the Space Station Tonight!

[sojourner truth]

Good view tonight, I think. There were 2 bright objects traversing the heavens. One was east of The Cygnus and west of Cassiopeia, and the other was just to the east of Cassiopeia and both were heading east. AT any rate, I got a twofer tonight. Got to pick up my daughter from the Killeen airport in the morning as she is here visiting us for a week from Panama City Beach, Fla. I tell her she is slumming when she comes here. Especially since we will be visiting her mom In Cove.

My daughter and I went out and watched it last night. I miss my wife being here.

Good show tonight if the clouds clear.

Cloud cover did it in tonight. We (my daughter and ) went out but it was too cloudy to observe anything.

Got a twofer tonight. The ISS and another satellite that was crossing from NE to SW at about the same time. The ISS was actually harder to see because it was so low on the horizon, while number 2 was high and bright as all get out. My daughter actually saw the first and caught the second one out of the corner of her eye.

A very pleasant viewing experience for kids of all ages.

Got a short, dim peek tonight far to the northwest. A lot of cloud cover, but it was still observable.

Just my luck... The time of year when the ISS starts showing up in the PM, we have clouds every night.

No chance with the cloud cover last night.

Tonight is also when the moon will eclipse Mars. Sadly, for me here in SE Alabama, it won't be viewable.
