Disappears 18h33m03s 6.0mag az: 19.8° NNE horizon
Now, again, the changing brightness was the odd thing about this, so if it was a tumbling satellite, then I am happy with that, but odd that heavens above and/or starry night didn't have this information. |
Even though Heaven Above is a great site,
it is often remiss of some objects as is CalSky.
There are literally thousands of satellites and space debris in orbit,and so it is possible that some of them will be missed being reported .
I think there is a NASA site which will give you nearly all he satellites.
Google it .
