Space Station Saturday evening.

For those interested the space station will fly across the lake, (Well 240 miles up...) at 5:19pm until 5:23pm, for 4 minutes. A long run for the Space Station.

Good chance to see it as it is supposed to be nice tomorrow.

I just watched it tonight for about a minute. Disappeared as it went in front of the moon....

Just for perspective, it would take the space station 5.8 seconds to travel from center harbor to Alton Bay.

It is after sunset, what happened to the 30 mph limit?

It was right on time, very bright and really gave the sense of how fast it is going. Came from the northwest and disappeared over Wolfeboro. It looked like it would hit Jupiter, but just missed.
