[kj] OT :jo.areply ;P ISS & Shuttle Atlantis

[Mik]

I guess if you don't have and interest in space and stuff, no amount of
attempting to explain the fascination would help you mil. I've been
interested in it since I can remember.

Oh boy, seen 2 great passes this evening ... firstly an almost overhead 3
minute pass at 70 degrees across from W to E from 17:42 hrs ... then one to
the south (max 22 degrees above horizon) for about a minute at 19:17 ...
with this pass, the ISS appeared so so bright at first as the 250 long solar
panels reflected huge amounts of sunlight then ever so rapidly it dimmed
immensely and disappeared from view almost due south ... the earlier pass
was fantastic with the ISS in view for ages, even as it dropped towards the
eastern horizon, it was still so very bright ... here are the precise
timings for London over next few days :

Tomorrow night's pass at approx 18:03 is probably the best remaining chance
before Atlantis detaches from ISS ... at 40+ degrees max above horizon ...
again from WSW to SE (basically looking to the south and across from West to
East) ... visible for a full 3 minutes ... it really stands out ... it
should be below the crescent moon ... the planet Mars is still up there too
looking a bit orangey ... hopefully another clear evening sky in the UK ...
a good excuse to leave work early and get back home ...  

 

Bleak are the hearts in summer, long wintertme 
We are god children running, immortal child 
Out on the chill horizon, shine morning stars 
Configurations I'll remember herald one season always

Doh, doh, doh ... managed to check the above link for Stevenage (the info
would have related to any place in the London or South East region) and get
the 9th & 10th Feb mixed up, hence stuck my head up out there just after
18:30 GMT hoping to see a 2 minutes duration pass at 18:36 from west to east
(max elevation 85 degrees) of the International Space Station with Shuttle
Atlantis attached ... indeed it occurred earlier at 18:15 & I've seen emails
from folks who've seen it !!!

 

In the UK it is a crystal clear night tonight so it's a bit of a shame I
managed to cock it all up, I was putting the shopping away !!! Anyway,
there are further opportunities but tonight's was the best by far ... if
anyone's able to view tomorrow, approx 18:36 is the time then 17:52 on
Tuesday, other days the elevation is probably too low ... at least the URL
will come in handy for any future attempts at viewing ... from your resident
scribe with his head always looking upwards ... 

 

Regards, Antoni
