Saw the shuttle and ISS last night. Still fairly light (Hawaii) at 1858 but very visible. A lot more distance between them than I expected, with the trailing one much brighter. Fast moving suckers.........
Glad to call you FRiend.
Yeah, higher than I thought but much more distinct too. I could count the lights and their colors. A one in a life time experience, just the same.
Even though we all know that USAFA is the best. :-)
The only thing overhead in NW Ohio in February is clouds. Day and night. :)
My wife and I looked for them but didn’t see them. :(
And I don’t understand why, other than the sky being fairly bright.
I had punched in the numbers at Heavens Above.
Well, there’s the eclipse tomorrow night.
Sure wish that meteor had done it’s thing yesterday afternoon. We flew from Spokane to Sacramento mid-day with clear skies all the way. Was able to pick out some familiar sites along the Columbia River and Hanford reservation. Too Cool.
You may be right but you can’t say it until the end of the next football season. Calhoun is a great coach. Paul Johnson is gone, game over, man. ;-)
Well, it IS February...
PING FOR LATER
Another pass tonight, will try and find my binoculars this time. Looks like 70s separation now.
