Really, that flare was a good one, and being so close to the Station... And the sky was really dark too. (The next two nights it appeared earlier).
I bet it was spectacular. I saw a pass of the ISS on Saturday night myself. It was great, even with some clouds.
I live under the flight line from Jacksonville, Fl. (I’m in Savannah, GA). From the beach, we can watch planes from shortly after take off at Jax International. They move very slow at first (it’s about 120 miles). But as they get closer, they speed up, until they are overhead. It takes about 20 minutes for them to get here.
It’s rather entertaining on a iffy astronomy night.
