Now

Its passing Jupiter now

Now passing mars

Just passed over Builth Wells.

Hope you saw it. It was a good 4 mins flying over

I saw it over Golborne

I saw it!!

Thought it was a bright plane at first but the more I looked the higher you could tell it was. Much brighter than any other plane in the sky and moving a lot more uniform and more quickly.

Thanks for the heads up RD

Another good chance to see it again in 3 min.
21:50hrs will be visible for 3/4 mins

It ought to turn red tonight before it disappears. 1 minute.

Flying north to south

A final chance to see the iss flyby at another sociable clear veiw time tonight. 21:02 hrs lasting for 5 minutes.

It will be another bright pass. Directly from the west, where it will pass the rosey coloured star...Mars, you can't miss it as its so bright at this time. It will head south east.

Tonight it may be possible to see 2 lights moving across the same trajectory as space x is due to dock with the iss on Sunday afternoon. I say it may very loosely though.

I have in the passed seen the iss along with the space shuttle Colombia. Im not sure how visible space x is though.

Now

Just had a wonderful view in the garden.
Not something I've seen before, skyview app made it easy to find too



Cheers RD

this is where we miss Fred Talbot. He would tell us when, where and also about the eclipse the other night. didn't hear about that till after the event.

You wouldn't had seen it anyways unless you like in the Americas?

I bet you didn't go to school in Altrincham, TFW

I was driving towards Altrincham, about 01:00 earlier today, and the moon was a beautiful shade of orange.
10 minutes later, it was back to it's usual white colour (no illicit substances had been taken). Was there an unusual lunar occurance, then.

Perhaps it was stank from Salford and Manchester in the lower atmosphere.
But seriously there is an element of truth there, the lower the moon is on the horizon, then the more of the atmosphere we see it through.
It tints it and also helps create the illusion of it being bigger.

The Lyrids meteor shower is going to peak tonight and will be visible for the next couple of days. If clear tonight you ought to be able to see up to 25 per hour.

I've been in and out several times tonight.
Unfortunately just too much cloud cover.

There will be a strange, once-in-a-lifetime full-lunar phenomena later this year cos I'll show my ar*e in Burtons window if we win anything this season.

Sorry, couldn't resist. True though.

Said it from the start mate.
We're a quality prop short and a playmaker too.
I didn't wanna say I told you so but I was expecting a thrashing v Cas.

I put a draw on the prediction comp only because I'll never bet for Wire to lose.

For those who want to see it, Bridge is very important on that right flank. He plays the role like a stand off yet he is strong in defence too.

His omission was all too evident. When he's back in, we'll be winning again.

There's too many on here that can't see the woods for the trees and just will argue against it but won't come up with an alternative.

Now back to space....still too much cloud!
