That, plus the total lunar eclipse Wednesday night should make a memorable display.
What if they miss the satellite and shoot down the moon by accident? The political repercussions would be enormous!
Good thing I kept this in the shed!
Don’t forget the ISS-STS122 flyover tonight starting about 6:00 EST.
They are supposed to be close together and bright, -8 mag.
This rogue satellite shootdown attempt is right during the eclipse! 02:30-05:00 UTC is 6:30pm-9pm California time. 2 things to watch at the same time!
