Pretty good show last night. High, and the last 2 minutes were cloud free.

I missed it last night since I was trying to get the Tapatalk update figured out.

I did see it a couple days ago early morning before I went to work.

Mornings are usually too early for me because us old farts sleep in past 9am most days. Last night it was high, bright, and heading NE as it cleared the cloud banks. Very good show for about 2 minutes or better. Probably have been longer if I had gotten out there earlier, and the cloud cover had cooperated a bit more. It did disappear into cloud cover to the NE towards the end of its run.

Watched it last night for a few minutes, and it was a good show.

Fairly good show last night. I guessed the emergence point wrong, but got a good shot of it heading from west to east and low on the northern horizon at any rate. My wife even came out and watched for about a minute or 2 as well.

I didn't think to check last night. It would have been good since I was sitting at the top of the stadium in Georgetown.

So, what did you get to see? Just wondering.

You get to see the sun reflecting off the spacecraft's solar arrays.

[sojourner truth]

It sort of reminds me of being in my backyard when I was just a kid. My dad and I would have a "sleepover" out back in our sleeping bags, and when the night finally came, we could spot one of the satellites that would pass over the yard right after sunset. Probably Sputnik or Telstar as it was so long ago.

Be still my heart! I will get up at 2 am to share this awesome sight so that I can go to my grave fulfilled.

My wife, who barely notices anything in nature, except when mosquitoes are biting her, was impressed when we saw the ISS pass overhead on one of our evening walks a few years ago.

She was impressed by something outside of nature and I presume remains oblivious to nature.
