[mfairhurst]

We have just seen the space station go over our house it was 200 miles above .
Fred on the weather tv said look out for it at 9 .29 pm and low and behold we did[msnsmile2]
Did anyone else see it ?

It's always amazing to see it Maureen isn't it. We've seen it go over a couple of times when the Shuttle has been "catching up" before it docks.

we often see it go over (goes much faster than you first think it will go, well for me anyway[msnembarrased]) If you go on to spaceflight.nasa.gov you can look at by city for the dates, time and coordinates when it will be over you.

www.heavens-above.com is worth a look at too. Enter your location details and it will tell you when and where to look for pretty much anything from satellites / Iridium Flares to the space station and other interesting objects. Pretty much any night you will see several satellites passing over once you know when to look.

Thanks Roger that definately seems like worth having a look at

Another vote for heavens above. We've always found it to be pretty accurate.

Sorry if this seems a daft question but is it easier to see it in day-light or at night

[mfairhurst]

It Is easy to see it in the dark and when there is no cloud .just after a plane from Manchester airport came over very low it was going out but the lights on it was awesome so if we had a balcony and warm nights we would see some sights .
Coming in from America we come over our home so thank goodness they are higher as the first can be 6 .30 am .
