It was so clear here (York) on Saturday night I could see the moons of Jupiter with the naked eye.
I must say that was a first for me.

Had brill sighting last night, ISS and the two planets...not so sure about tonight but will still poke me head out of the door. Thanks Wendi for your wonderful updates and keeping the interest in this great subject. I've always been interested in the heavens and astro stuff...but you are keeping me up to date and I can't thank you enough for that.

No problem Daisya. It is surprising how many people don't know they can see it at certain times. Been posting for over 4 years so all of UK should know now lol.

All the excitement is gone now that the Shuttles are grounded.We used to get double flybyes at times. There might be the odd chance we might see the supply ships now that the russians are delivering to the station.
