I JUST SAW THEM about 10 minutes ago here in central Virginia! Amazing sight! Both were moving fairly fast near the moon and they looked like unblinking stars, easily visible with the naked eye. First one disappeared then the other about 2 seconds later at the same spot. COOL!!!!

Did anyone hear of or see an early morning (what appearred to be a rocket vapor trail) on 12/16/2006. I saw this and was quite surprised. Never have I seen this before in the area. I am looking for an explanation

It was low in the NorthWest in SouthEast North Carolina.

(Look! All four compass points in one sentence!)

I think I’m dizzy now….

I’ve been waiting for MONTHS now to try to photograph the station with the new solar panels installed.
I’m in Seattle – need I say more? Long, dark, cloudy, wet (VERY wet I should add), some snow, and now last week the windstorm of the decade! Grrrr…grumble, gripe, complain…..

Anyway, check out some of the photos of the ISS that I’ve taken in the past!

I saw it. Attempted to photograph ISS and Discovery as they passed over my house. If the image turns out (I still use film) it should look great as the Christmas-lighted house with the spacecraft sailing by overhead.

Very bright, and easy to pick out of the airline traffic (1800 EST), as they passed NW, N and NE of Bowie, MD. Dimmed as they passed into shadow before moving below the horizon.

ISS passes Europe in the evening when it is not yet dark…
