1 minute ago I saw (for the first time) the International Space Station cruise across a cloudless sky over Solihull.

On previous occasions when it passed our way the sky has been cloudy.

I subscribe to an email service which lets me know when the ISS will be visible in my area. It tells you the time, direction and duration.

Its just a dot of light no bigger than the background stars. It's only its steady passage across the sky that gives it away. I didn't time it but guess that we watched it for about one minute.

You would be surprised. My wife is as blind as a blind thing, and she saw it easily. Saying that, we do live in an area free of much light pollution.

Yes, but the first time she saw you naked, she "said" she saw that too.  :whistler:
