One for those with young kids - See Santa do a flyby - for real

I've heard on the grapevine that the ISS will be particularly bright tomorrow evening as it flies over, so it is being suggested by some that you can show your kids and tell them its Santa's sleigh setting off.

NASA's ISS website has a search feature that lets you tell them where you are, and then it tells you when to look up.

That's a cracking idea lets just hope it's not cloudy

 

Clear skies here. I drove us up to a local high spot away from all the lights of the towns. I was gutted when, at 16:25, there was no sign. Then suddenly, there he was, clear and bright, exactly where NASA said he'd be, speeding across the sky. My son was well impressed and even gave him a wave. As he passed over where the car was parked he ran full sprint round to the other side of the car to watch him disappearing off into the distance.

 

Same here, clear skies a cracking view. At first like you said nothing then all of a sudden there.
The little un said his sledge got stuck in the snow so he was late.

 

If anyone wants to show their kids Santa heading home after his work is done tomorrow, its at around 5:13PM tomorrow, with another (lesser) chance at 6:49PM.
