Coincidentally spotted the #ISS last night from our roof top. Light from the setting sun in the west illuminated an object moving eastwards across the clear sky at rather incredible speed. At first it looked like a very fast airplane but it had no blinking lights, it was just a single spot of light. A friend noted the current time (18:44) when it had moved past Jupiter which could also be seen, and later looked up the object in #stellarium and confirmed that what we saw was indeed the ISS 😀 🛰 ✨
Correction: The time was around 20;44 (sun sets on Berlin around 9pm at this time of year).
@florian why not, doesn't the ISS like benno?
@neeels private joke.
We we sitting with a bunch of people outside having a few beers. And Benno mentioned that the ISS should pass over us soon. So we are looking for it for half an our or so. Didn't show up.
A few ours later on our way home this bright spot passes over us: Hey Benno, what's that? Benno: Oh, some satellite.
Turns out it was the ISS he had looked up the timing in the wrong location 😀
@stsp no, as I said, it was 22:18.
Oh no no no wrong again, it was at 22:44 in fact 🙃
