That’s awesome..
You was watching the Boeing Starliner that launched 6days ago.

Really, it seemed to be tracking exactly the same distance in front of the ISS for the whole sighting I had

It’s on the same trajectory as the ISS till it docks, I’ve not been following this, but I think last night it undocked just before you seen it?

Don't forget the super moon tonight (01:30 GMT)

 

[Sabre]

I'll wait until the press decide to call it a mega sooper-dooper moon, it'll be the same size but bigger

The Persid meteor shower peaks tomorrow and night, early Saturday morning but you may see some later tonight too.

Sitting around for hours watching nothing happen. Just like wildlife photography. Compulsive viewing though.

First time I pointed it out to the wife her quote was ‘OMG why does it not crash into a star?’

So now she’s learned the difference between 200 miles and 200 light years.

Cloud, mist and rain here this morning, but did get a few glimpses of the Partial Solar Eclipse earlier

 

[coullstar]

Always wanted to see a shuttle launch when I was younger. After seeing and hearing this I must get out to witness this in person!!!!

Sometimes in awe at what we can actually engineer.
