ISS, Tiangong, Satellites Over Puna

[HereOnThePrimalEdge]

It's been awhile so although this pass of the ISS is only 2 minutes in duration I thought I'd post it:

Time: Mon Jun 11 8:35 PM, Visible: 2 min, Max Height: 56°, Appears: 19° above NNW, Disappears: 56° above N

Also, for the next week or so, if you have dark skies and good eyesight you may be able to spot 4 Vesta, one of the larger asteroids/minor planets, when it will be at it's brightest in years. I'll add more info here when I have time, or perhaps TomK will, as I'm certain he knows far more about it than I do:

I alternate between thinking of the planet as home — dear and familiar stone hearth and garden — and as a hard land of exile in which we are all sojourners. Today I favor the latter view. The word “sojourner”... invokes a nomadic people’s sense of vagrancy, a praying people’s knowledge of estrangement, a thinking people’s intuition of sharp loss: “For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding.” - Annie Dillard
