ISS Passing over Ireland tonight - what time?

Brilliant sighting of the ISS in Mayo:)

dnme · 15-06-2011 11:51pm

Stunning, Co. Sligo. My god it moves eh. Also the moon is up above the southern horizon and is glowing brilliantly.

dylano_k · 15-06-2011 11:52pm

If i said i seen it over dublin city at 29:49 going from West to East and it was a bright light going by would i be right? Judging by the map it was over Germany at that time.

RobitTV · 15-06-2011 11:52pm

Very cool, just saw it Co.Waterford

Moves fast and the light is very bright

It passed my house at 23.46hours and according to the map the craft was over Belgium. It's surreal.

Lapin · 15-06-2011 11:54pm

That was pretty cool.

Never seen it so bright.

Amazing to think it was over Germany while looking at it here in East Galway !

dnme · 15-06-2011 11:54pm

I wonder how many thousands of us were outside all staring up at the same thing just now?

Chemistry Ftw · 16-06-2011 12:12am

So what time should we expect the next sighting tonight? It's been a while since I last saw the ISS pass over and would really like to see it tonight!

Thanks! From what direction?

Chemistry Ftw · 16-06-2011 12:23am

Oh just viewed the map, looks like its coming from the west!

at a guess NW to SE direction.
if you follow the link it should provide the direction as it gets closer to Ireland

Jacksquat · 16-06-2011 1:22am

just watching it now. it's moving alright!

Lapin · 16-06-2011 1:27am

There she goes again.

Incredible to think that thing has been around the world since we last saw it just over an hour ago,

V480 · 16-06-2011 1:31am

Just saw it in Cork - class!

When can we see it again??

Jacksquat · 16-06-2011 1:33am

the link above gives all details about it, there's a time chart aswell

Chemistry Ftw · 16-06-2011 1:34am

I think you add another 90 mins to the time you last saw it? Not completely sure though! That was amazing! It was moving so fast!

MRPRO03 · 16-06-2011 1:35am

02:55 mostly everywhere and 02:58 in the Cork area. Coming West to SouthEast/South.

Jacksquat · 16-06-2011 1:38am

It'll be back between 2.52 and 3.01, if I'm reading it right.

A video i took, no zoom on it best i could get.

Cocolola · 16-06-2011 2:14am

Had no idea about the lunar eclipse till just after it was over so am sickened about that but I did get to see the ISS twice and get a nice shot of the 'normal' moon so I'll make do with that :-)

No idea whats going on here, don't know if I'm looking upside down sideways or what. Alslo no idea what I'm looking at. Certainly didn't notice anything that resembled the ISS. I don't think your video quite worked.

Thats the iPhone the camera flips when you turn it was my 1st time using the video camera. have a look now i annotated it.

dylano_k · 16-06-2011 3:02am

Saw it again for the 3rd time tonight still looked great. Couldn't record it because wasn't visible on the cam, maybe the moon was too bright.

Lapin · 16-06-2011 3:10am

Just saw it for the third time tonight too.

Hard to believe there are 6 people up there in that thing.

Wish I was one of them !

lolie · 16-06-2011 1:30pm

Four passes of the ISS tonight if anyone interested, weather permitting of course.

Why are we getting 6 minute passes at the mo. the longest I've seen in the past is 4 minutes. Is the ISS slowing down or just something to do with d'angle dangle.

Irish Fire · 17-06-2011 9:33am

Next sighting:

17th June 23:16 Approach 10Deg WSW Departure 11Deg above East Duration 6 Min

18th June 02:28 Approach 11Deg above West Departure 22Deg above S Duration 3 Min

D'angle dangle

:D Just like you said. It all depends on the time of day, year and angle of approach in relation to the suns position.:)

i have seen it many times over the past 11 years and still fills me with awe. It is a thing of beauty:)
