presume thats the international space station, and i doubt you would have seen much there this evening. It's difficult to see the ISS without artificial aids and especially with the sky so bad this evening.

From prior experience, astronomical events tend to be lame. Unless you have something like a Hubble telescope lying around, what you will most likely see is a little dot zooming across the sky and not people waving a you from the space station window.

Only if it came from an expensive tinfoil brand. None of this cheap 'EuroShopper' stuff! Maybe you could sell it to Irishpimpdude

None of it was a joke. The ISS was indeed due to pass close to the moon, as we look at it. The ISS will be on view up to the end of next week. Check www.heavens-above.com for more details.
