Last night the ISS passed over our house and thought I’d pop outside with my son and have a look as we had clear skies.
I tracked it through the app and we looked south when it was due to pass overhead and as a couple of satellites went over we were like oh is that it? Or is that it? We were unsure and then all uncertainties were left behind when this huge orange glow passed over us in mesmerising slow motion with the accompanying oooh aaaah Wow!:eyepop:
Almost surreal as it was right above us just vanished like a ghost into blackness as it outran the reflection of the suns rays.
If you haven’t seen it already it’s well worth a look.
It’s amazing to think that 45 minutes prior to us it was over Canada.
Then 90 minutes later was back over Australia again before I went to bed. And there are people on it.
