Last night (Wednesday) I had an astronomy meeting at Burwood, so about a dozen of us were standing out in the back yard watching. We saw the space station drift across the sky, everyone was amazed. Then came a mag 0 flare and a couple minutes later, in almost the same position, was a -3 (it was a -6 if I was at home). All of this in about 15 minutes. Some of the people hadn't seen any before, I am sure heavens above will have some more traffic today!
