For anyone who's interested with young kids over Xmas. On the 24th December at 17:57 the international space station passes from west to east across the sky. It is a very bright light which shoots across the sky in 3 minutes.

Or, maybe it's santa's sleigh on a last training run......?

Yeah I'm west coast as well. Slight flaw in the plan there with the weather but you never know, might get a clear break...

Are you a PUNK? Professional uncle no kids.
I'm GUNK. Great Uncle No Kids

Don't think that we will see it here in Cornwall either as if this rain doesn't stop then we will be under water.

Merry Christmas.

Set for Sheffield, but you can change the location easily enough in the menu

Saw it !!! 18:02 over the SW sky.

Visual magnitude zero to -1 for all you astronomers out there.

At today's 5.13 pm pass I thought I could see a smaller vehicle travelling alongside, or fairly near. Any ideas?
