« on: May 10, 2009, 08:36:19 PM »

We saw the space station in the sky over Southern California for 5 mins. tonight - traveling at about 17,000 miles per hour - with no moon it was very easy to see. Check out your area over the next few days http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/skywatch.cgi?country=United+States

It's a fast moving shiny light - being outside and seeing how fast it moves from horizon to horizon is what is awesome - I doubt a video would be much fun. Sorry Chris, it might be tough for you to see.
