(Hattip: zr)
looks like an airplane to me!!
ReplyDeletehow will we know if it's a plane or the ISS?
I have no idea... I guess you have to see it and see if you can tell the difference
ReplyDeleteThis happens all over the world just about every day. Visit heavens-above.com, enter your location, and it will calculate the viewing times for the ISS and many other satellites.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, the ISS does not look anything like a plane. More like a slow-moving shooting star.
ReplyDeleteI was curious so I went out last night at 8:18 to take a look. I stayed outside for about 10 minutes and saw nothing other than a few stars. It was a clear night, but maybe I just did not know where to look or my view was too obstructed...
ReplyDeleteIt was there last night just further west (over the mountains) and lower in the sky. It was too far from my porch to record.
