As TomK noted last week, we have a highly visible pass of the ISS over Puna tonight (weather permitting):
23rd May: Very bright ISS pass.
Sky track: https://goo.gl/dLfOvI
It's very bright (-3.5) and should be visible for 6 minutes:
Time: Tue May 23 7:51 PM
Visible: 6 min
Max Height: 72°
Appears: 11° above SW
Disappears: 12° above NNE
Coming up tomorrow night, an Iridium flare. I'll post details later.
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
