Melbourne/Victoria Sky Watchers tonight 29/03

http://www.theage.com.au/technology/sci-tech/satellite-visible-from-mcg-20120328-1vx3r.html

This is surely a thread somewhere but I couldn't find it and I didn't know where to put it so I put it in the forum with the highest hits (general chat). Just cut and paste if it doesn't work. Check it out.

thanks for the heads up. I headed outside last night with the 15yr old and at exactly 8:45 there it was amid the clouds - an amazing sight when you think of what it is and how fast it's whizzing through the sky
