Is it Apophis?


Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a NEO so large we will all surely perish. No, its the International Space Station zooming over the house. Sharon, Mary Jo and Chris and I caught up with it a couple weeks ago. I tracked it using a satellite tracker at http://www.spaceweaather.com/ Fun. On the right hand side of the page is a link to the satellite tracker, you simply enter your ZIP code and pow...satellite flyby times. Notice how it is on a collision course with the Big Dipper?

That was fun!!! And it will just get more fun as Chris gets older and more able to comprehend what we are looking at :)
