Heavenly sights

[Delicate Snowflake]

If you live in the USA, tonight is a great night to see the ISS pass overhead lit up, the brightest thing in the sky by far.

Maps below for California 5:50pm and Arkansas 6:19pm. Click them open to see the times and data.

I used to watch it all the time, have the app on my phone & iPad.
Thanks for reminding me, went out and watched it last night. Always amazes me that the thing is traveling at 17,255 miles per hour.
That's 25,307 feet per second.
A 45 caliber bullet fire from a pistol travels at 1,250 feet per second.
A bullet from an AR-15 rifle travels at 3,000 feet per second.

And when I saw it last night on the horizon, it was a 1/4 of the way between me and Hawaii.

They see 16 sunrises in a 24 hour period.

But they can't ride their motorcycle to the store for beer.

Take it nice and slow Doc... about January it went right over us too, could hear all the necks/spines clicking nicely. It's like a free chiropractor's visit
