ups.com: A very slight haze had developed, and increased as we watched, slowly obscuring our view, but we were constantly entertained, including by seeing the transit of many satellites, in mostly north-south orientation, but one which was more east-west. One was very large - perhaps it was the space station? (No, not really, as it's a very far-out orbit and would not move as fast as these did. Like our weather satellites, these took only a few minutes from horizon to horizon. As I type this, the one overhead, delivering the current picture, will have finished its path in our view in less than 8 minutes.) As this was a new moon phase, we got the very best of the light pollution conditions other than being well offhsore. There was a little light haze on the horizon, which diminished the view somewhat, but otherwise the conditions were excellent The Jpass generator that sends you the automated email I get whenever my selected birds are overhead at sunrise/sunset is on: http://science.nasa.gov/RealTime/Jpass/PassGenerator/ |
