When I switched off last night I went out on the patio for a last fag and to look at the stars, it was 0204hrs and a bright light came from the south west ish and disappeared in the north east ish, was this the space station?
I believe you but if it takes 90 minutes to go around the earth I'd think it would be visible for longer than that. Maybe the shorter time has to do with the earth's shadow.It was definitely the ISS, past over at 02:03 and lasted till 02:08
The passes usually last about 5 minutes.
That I understood, thanks to my German frau.Klugscheisser!
