International Space Station

I watched the ISS through naked eye today. It was a surreal feeling to watch something other than a jet fly so fast across the sky.

Initially we wrongly assumed a star in the west direction to be the ISS, but it mostly remained static in the sky. Then at around 7:20pm or so (the website has the start time as 7:16pm), my mother first spotted some red spot in the SW direction that moved very fast. We were so fortunate to track its journey across a dark, clear sky for a minute or more. Wonderful sight! I hope to see the same event this Friday too.
