SKY GAZER'S....HELP REQUIRED. TONIGHT'S SKY................

No joke. Sat in the garden earlier and the most amazing white star moved overhead.....west to east. Bright as you like and almost like the Bethleham Star. Moved steadily enough and was clearly visible in close proximity for 30 - 40 seconds.

No joking. It was brilliiant.

What was it? Was it a satalite or something?

These are all sightings in Cardiff aera

If it was moving quickly it was most likely the International Space Station

Tidy.......saw the space station!! Cheers buddy!

i dont know, stella, cannabis, cocaine. heroin

If it didn't flash and was a constant brightened and speed it could have been the international space station. Otherwise ask the Cardiff astronomical society. They will know.

Have you got an Android phone mate? If you have then get Skymaps. Utterly superb. Point it at something in the sky and it tells you what it is. Although it doesn't cover satellites so wouldn't have helped you last night!

It was definitely the International Space Station

we are not alone

did u see 3 wiseman on donkeys looking for the CCS.

Just watched the space station fly from West to south/south east in silence from 10.09pm - 10.13pm before it was out of sight. Very clear view.

Anyone with android phone should get two apps if they are interested.

1 called ISS?
2 called ISS Detector

You can scan for visible passes over 10 days and set an alarm when iss is in proximity for viewing.

Amazing how bright, quietly and fast it goes by (orbiting the whole planet in 92 minutes!

As I said - every 92 minutes - although next sighting will be alot further south. (each pass has a different orbit)

Get the apps for a better idea and a live globe tracker

Its awsume watching the space station. Its out of this world

See it again tonight at 10.54 pm for 6 minutes travelling in the sky from West to southerly direction on its curvature orbit at about 18°

Just look for a constant bright white light that glides across the sky silently and quite quickly - great to view with binoculars too.
