Guest Fluke Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Clint welcome to the forum. What time did you see that bright moving object? The International Space Station (ISS) flew over last night at around 10:12pm, rising in the West and dissappearing in the East and would have been visible for around 5 mins. Best regards, Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards, Dan it was about that time it could of been that but it was very bright and did not lose its brighness when it passed over. i often see satalites pass over but this was quite large as stars go and very bright. So does this sound like the iss. And thanks for your info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glider Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 What I find interesting about the ISS is that it is only about 250 miles up. That's only like walking to Portsmouth, not far at all really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brantuk Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Hi Clint and a warm welcome to EMS. It was a great ISS pass tonight and there's another one at about 11pm. On a clear night we often see two passes - it takes around 90 mins to reappear after going round the Earth. Enjoy the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
