PaulS 02-18-2016, 08:50 AM Gonna try this tonight. Thanks Ross. Mike P 02-18-2016, 02:06 PM Good chance tonight, 73* above the horizon is almost directly overhead, I would say. Saw it once when it was docked with the space shuttle. That was very impressive. Rockport24 02-18-2016, 02:13 PM I thought the thread said "ISIS flyover" I was like WTF??

The best one I saw was when the shuttle was docked to the space station PaulS 02-18-2016, 06:20 PM I just saw it. Stupid question but why is it bright? Is that the Sun reflecting off it? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device nightfighter 02-18-2016, 06:23 PM Yes spence 02-18-2016, 06:29 PM I just saw it. Stupid question but why is it bright? Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device With astronauts from around the globe accustumed to different time zones they work in shifts so the lights are always on. PaulS 02-18-2016, 06:40 PM They should close the curtains. Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device Dutch57 02-18-2016, 07:02 PM Very cool.

Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device yes the sun below the horizon and our view is still shinning on it and i forgot to mention thanks Ross for the heads up DZ 02-19-2016, 07:40 AM Thanks for the heads up - saw it last night on the second pass at 7:45. It was visible for less than a minute but looked reddish and was quick. I'll be ready for tonight although it looks like we may have cloud cover.
