If anyone is interested, the ISS is visible all week from the UK and will be passing overhead tonight at 10.08pm. Times vary daily but with the clear skies we're getting, a good view is all but guaranteed.

Thanks. Yes, should be clear tonight according to the forecast. Normally where we are any kind of celestial event such as eclipse of the moon, meteor showers or some rare alignment of the planets guarantees a cloudy night!

I read that as maximum height 78 feet. Won't make it over the Wenallt!Originally Posted by BLUETIT
Usually you are right but the meteor showers we had just over a month ago were easily visible as like now the skies we're very clear.
I saw a couple whiz across the sky in the blink of an eye but one was extremely bright and was visible for almost 5 seconds, probably the best one I've ever seen.
Very good tonight to the left off the moon no clouds for a change
Yes, got a nice little video of it. Sent it to my son to show my grandson.
What time rest of week? Been looking a few times but never caught sight of the bloody satellites.

Can be seen again in around 20 minutes if I'm reading that correctly.

The Space X Rocket takes off at 9.37pm tonight and I think will also be visible in a similar area about 20 minutes after the Space station.
Had a great view of it last night. And Cygnus too.
Cheers, I'll look out for that 👍
The WoL say it will be seen travelling west to east, low in southern skies.
In that case its probably north to south in the western skies
Loads of live build up to the rocket launch on NASA’s You Tube channel.
SpaceX Dragon Launch
The rocket should be visable over south Wales 15mins after launch around 9.45-9.50pm BST
Whereabouts will that be in the sky?
Any ideas?
Thanks
