As we post these messages, three astronauts are currently returning to Earth from the ISS. The capsule left the station this evening at 19:52 Hawaii time and should "touch down" at around 23:15 HST tonight. NASA TV have been showing this live:

I used apostrophes as touch down is not an apt description. It's more of a controlled crash.

Thanks for that video link, HOTPE, that was a good tour!

*bump* Just over an hour to go. Looking good.

Thank you for the reminder! Did y'all see it??? (Too cloudy and rainy for us...shucks!)

Yup, the ISS was bright tonight, even with the moon backlighting low hanging clouds in the eastern sky.

It shone right through the clouds!

Thanks Tom (and science)

RE: Elon Musk's Starlink, ISS, - Over Puna - TomK - 06-19-2016

Saw it in the clear spots between the clouds and occasionally even behind the cloud. It was a particularly bright pass so was easy to spot. Sorry the thicker clouds and rain prevented you seeing it, Opihikao, but there will be further opportunities! I'll let you know shortly when they'll be.

Mahalo, Mr. Tom, Sir. We had to settle for "Somemores"....Double Hershey's chocolate.

Opihikao,

24th July and 19th August are the next best evening opportunities. It can be seen before then, but those are both very bright evening passes. Details nearer the time.
