That's brilliant, wendilla! Thanks a lot! I'll be there with my binocs!

[wendilla]

I can asure you you won't need binoculars. It is that bright now you will spot it no problem

[moonshadow]

Thanks wendilla, will have to put my thermals on though as it's really cold already.

I have this wonderful picture in my mind of a line of ABers all up the country, all staring skywards at 9.46 tonight. If we all carried a sparkler, the people in the space station could probably identify us from up there!

[wendilla]

If you watch it on the tracker you won't need to go out till the circle hits the coast.

Nice one Boxtops .How about if I write to Nasa and tell them lol

[boxtops]

Yeah, tell them to wave!

I was in the lake district last night and saw the most amazing shooting star / meteorite. It didnt just flash across the sky but was really bright and ended with a flash / explosion (no noise tho).

[Lie-in King]

Thank you once again for the reminder, wendilla!

[wendilla]

I am no expert to tell people where to look but look at the chart. Once you see it it will always come in the same direction as it crosses the atlantic then ireland then uk . Just look at one of the large planets and it's like that but moving and remember it does NOT BLINK..Hope this helps.

[wendilla]

Count-a strong That must have been exciting to see. I have never seen one.

wedilla the view last night at 10.56 was absolutely awesome, very very bright and so fast! but still a full 3 mins or so, I was on the phone my OH and we watched it together and he was 60 miles away but had just the same view!!! It was very remantic, we wished on it lol (feel proper daft now tho)

[wendilla]

How very romantic Dot. Well here hoping for tonights view.

[sadielady]

After missing it last night because of cloud have just been watching it go over. We waved but dont think they saw us!!! Maybe the idea of sparklers is a good one ;-)

[Mr Veritas]
