The Moon This Morning

It's quite long

 

When will it be visible please?
Jenny

 

I would say it was 'lunatastic'

 

I'm not sure yet. I follow virtual astro on twitter and they post up when it's due. I'll try and post times onto this thread. It only takes a few minutes to cross the sky but I was just amazed that I could see it

 

Thank you Pootle,
Jenny

 

So the ISS passes tomorrow night at 17.13 you need to look towards the southwest and you should see a slow moving star. It's easier if you have a phone or tablet with a stargazing app on it because then you can track it, but we watched it move across the sky quite clearly last time. It's only visible for a few minutes so if you haven't seen it by 17.20 you have missed it.

 

Many thanks for that Pootle. I will put a post it note on the kitchen window to look out- the view is SW. Purfick ( if it's clear of course),

Did you manage to see it Poot....not a chance here typically dull in Hull

 

Jenny put a fantastic pic of it up on Facebook, you could see the astronaughts waving thru the portholes

 

Think someones telling stories

 

No I missed it too. It's going past every night at the moment I think the times are on meteorwatch.org as well as on twitter. It always seems to be cloudy when there's something to see though

 

Went over us at 06.03 tonight but it was too cloudy to view. HaD an alert in my email box TODAY from Nasa:

SpotTheStation! Time: Tue Dec 18 6:03 PM, Visible: 2 min, Max Height: 87 degrees, Appears: WSW, Disappears: ENE

 

SpotTheStation! Time: Fri Dec 21 5:09 PM, Visible: 3 min, Max Height: 81 degrees, Appears: W, Disappears: ENE
tonight - look out - if it's a clear sky,
wave to the astronaughts Ziggy,

 

Thanks Jenny

 

I'm watching now
