Fri May 28 at 9:47 PM, Outside looking up
400 Broad St, Seattle, WA, USA (Map & Directions)
Spot the Station
My profound apologies for the last minute entry but I only just checked for the first time in days and wow, what a surprise!
Here are the details:
Date: Fri May 28, 9:47 PM
Visible: 7 min
Max Height: 89°
Appears: 10° above WNW
Disappears: 9° above ESE
As 90% is straight up, this is good as it gets.
The station fades into view and then just sails across the sky lickety split in grand silence. In binoculars it present a glowing line. You are looking at seven people travellng at 17,600 miles per hour in a construction of habitat and solar panels presenting a surface area of a football field, if I recall correctly.
I, myself never get tired of watching this.
If it is clear...
