Got a lovely view of the ISS (international space station) about an hour ago.
Best to view just after the sun has gone down (or just before the sun rises) so there is some sunlight to reflect off it in our night sky.
It is coming back again TONIGHT. (Doesn't take long to get around the globe does it?!)
Get a LIVE track of it
HERE.
(I think it will track across our sky again in about 45 minutes (ish!) - though the tracker will tell you tonight ( and whenever you want it to, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year- VERY handy!)
Look for a VERY bright satellite, travelling pretty well WEST to EAST.
(no blinking - thats a plane!)
I DO hope there is enough sunlight over the Americas to light it up over our night sky, though there may not be. By the time it has got to the mid point of our sky, it will vanish (no sunlight left to reflect).
Anyway - if there isn't enough sunlight to light it up this time round - thats a
VERY handy link for any interested people anyway....
By the way, its got 6 people on board at present I think.
Awww.... google it if you want any more info!
