Wednesday 17th May at 20:20:24. Again, Jupiter will help find the position before the flare.
It's predicted magnitude is -7.6 which is roughly 130 times brighter than Jupiter, so ought to be very bright!
Looking forward to seeing this Iridium flare!
It... lends weight to Goethe's felicitous description of architecture as 'frozen music.' ... Does this, I often wonder, make music 'defrosted architecture?' Listening to Bach's Goldberg variations as I often do on walks when motorway noise and other auditory intrusions preclude the music of silence, it strikes me that it might. - Pub Walks in Underhill Country, Nat Segnit
