400 HO Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 I heard on the news last night that we were able to view the International Space Station as it flies over Columbus. I went outside and sure as shit.. at exactly 6:48pm.. it was like a big moving star right above my head. It's like watching a far off airplane flying over but without the blinking light. It was pretty cool. I took my son out with me and we watched it move accross the sky. Here is a link that shows when and where it will be available to be seen. You goota check this out. http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/cities/viewsighting.cgi?Columbus.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 slow enough to track with a telescope? next best chance: Sun Nov 14/06:08 PM 3mins 80deg up you want the elevation as close to 90 as possible, so the thick atmosphere and ambient light mess with your view the least.
