Now that we are on the dry side of Oregon, we get to see a few things that are pretty rare on the wet side.  Tonight, it was the International Space Station.  Amazing to think about humans skimming across the top of us at thousands of miles per hour.

 

Here’s a link to a site that helps you with dates and times for your location.   It’s set for my area, just enter yours.  Have fun.

Some years ago, I made a packet contact with ISS.  Pretty cool even at 1200 bps.

About two weeks ago I saw the Starlink satellites going over. Many of them all equally spaced out. Quite the sight.
