Anybody See The Space Station Go By Overhead Last Night??

[Henry]

"Hi Henry,

Don't know if you went outside last night to watch for the space station going overhead or not.  I went out on the deck and waited a few minutes & then at about 6:31 the craft went right over our house.  It was so bright & with the clear skies it was quite the sight.  Wish I could have taken a picture.
 
On the 6:00 news on Tues. night Sharon had mentioned that a caller had asked the time of the sighting & she said it would be at 6:30.

I was sure Mike Cain would have a photo up on his blog this morning.  Sharon Meyer had one up on her weather forecast last night - Oh Well!!  Maybe JoAnne caught it.

Henry, I went outside when my son pulled into the driveway and noticed this bright white light coming in a straight line from the South. I thought it was a plane but the light was bigger and it had no blinking light and did not make any noise as it flew overhead so we knew it wasn't a plane. We were surprised at how low it was. I went on the ISS web site and found the flight schedules for Burlington, Vermont and low and behold at 6:28pm on the 23rd it was flying overhead.  I was glad to see that someone else in Fairfax saw it. Here is the link to the schedule: http://spaceflight1.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/view.cgi?country=United_States&region=Vermont&city=Burlington

Nope. Never saw it. Someone posted on Facebook that they saw the first star of the night and made a wish, only to find out it was the space station.

On another matter , we're located about 100 miles from Cape Canaveral and can usually see the fireball pretty well, even in the daytime.  Today's launch was undertaken when the skies over central Florida were full of clouds and the 50 residents who gathered to watch this historic lift-off saw nothing. Too bad for us ....hope the trip goes well for them !!

The space station should be very visible the next several days when docked with the shuttle (the largest man made object ever placed in orbit).
It's **very** impressive - clouds notwithstanding, of course.

If you want to know when it flies over, go to the link below and crank in your zip code, look for "ISS" (international space station).

there's also a section called "Orbital tracking'  where you can see a map of the world and where the SPace Station is and it's projected path aroudn the world in th eorbit it's in.... it's under real-time data ( you can also see this inforfor the shuttle).
