If you are into satellite watching


Tonight, being an exceptionally clear night thanks to the winter revisit we are having at the moment, we were able to watch the passing of a satellite and the International Space Station on cue thanks to this really cool website. It gives the exact time for appearance and how long it can be seen for. Just set it for your own location and sit back and watch the white lights traverse the night sky. Lots of fun after a few drinks.
The ISS is the most brightest object in the sky (apart from the Moon and Sun obviously) so you can't miss it.
The satellite we saw tonight was this one.
