Amazing isn't it. Back again tomorrow at 7.40pm (visible for 4 mins) and 9.15pm (visible for 1 minute). I've been setting an alarm for it on Alexa
Its travelling at over 17,000mph, or 5 miles a second.

Same, just on my phone though. Looking forward to the Thursday one if it's supposed to be the best viewing of the week. Looks clear, too

I live in West Wales so does it go East - west or west - east and will I see it at the same time, a tad earlier or later? How long is a tad!

Watched it last night and half way across the sky it vanished. Thought I'd witnessed the end of the ISS until logic kicked in. Over the horizon of the sun.
Remember this a few years back on Xmas Eve telling Granddaughter it was Father Christmas.
On a not so similar vein. Anyone been on an aircraft with internet and tracked their own flight on FlightRadar24. Done it recently. No guessing what you are over.

in space terms a 'tad' is approximately 8.182 x 10 to the power of 6,128
or something like that

Same time as Sussex must be very long
I guess if you are travelling at 17150 mph then the difference between Wales and sussex is fairly negligible.

yep, if you're in B26 you'll be about a minute or 2 behind the times that I put up,

Quite easily, especially as currently there are no aircraft, so it'll be the only thing you see moving in the sky. Last night it was just to the left of Venus (the really bright looking "star") as it came over, so if you're looking in that direction you won't miss it. It basically resembles a shooting star, but slower.

I'd say the same time. Friends of mine in Salisbury are only 1 minute earlier than Eastbourne tonight.

I am beyond fuxking excited
That was an incredible sight, even though the picture doesn’t give it justice...it was bloody amazing.
It’s next to Venus.
