Heavens Above


We were sitting at the end of the garden looking at the stars round about half past ten tonight, hoping to see some shooting stars.  Suddenly there was this huge light in the sky going fast from West to East.  No planes go that way and it had no red & green lights, no flashing lights.  Also, there was no noise.  By the time it was overhead, I figured that it had to be the Space Station so I looked up the website that shows you where the space station actually is and there it was!  You can see from the image that its orbit passed a bit below us in France.  That's the first time we have ever seen it.
