so do I, I watched it (last time) until it was out of sight, then I went in and looked on the internet to see where it was - just exiting Germany!

I was really excited about the lunar eclipse - until I realised I was in the wrong part of the world

Tomorrow night we'll get 2 passes, first at 19.24 and again at 20.58.

Expecting another 2 passes tonight, first one at 20.29 coming from the West, the second will be at 22.05. Also at 21.10 NASA are launching Dragon which carries cargo to and from the ISS (you can watch the launch here http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html . Approximately 20 minutes after launch on the same trajectory as ISS and aslong as there is a clear sky, Dragon will be visible above the UK.

This week the years most spectacular meteor shower hits our skies (literally).

It started last night, and will continue for the next few nights, peeking tomorrow (Wednesday).  

 

We had a drive up to Kielder last night and the view was spectacular.  The sky from up there is amazing, the amount of stars you can see is just wow. We could also clearly see the Milky Way, plus the amount of satellites, in addition to the ISS, you can see moving across the sky was unbelievable. We also saw at least 9 meteors, the majority just looked like the regular shooting stars you see, but the first one was FANTASTIC, it was huge.  

 

So if you have a clear sky above you, look up, even better if you can get to somewhere with little light pollution.
