Us* at night from space (East Sussex/Brighton & Hove/West Sussex)

Marvel at the Amex! Wonder what game we were playing?

Picture was taken by Chris Hadfield from the International Space Station, posted on 21st February, but date picture taken not specified

Can you see your house? Labels by yours truly, I hope they are accurate!!!!

[Shy Talk]

Great picture! I can see my house in Patcham. Think the Newhaven label is under Seaford, but who cares?

The glow around the Amex is from the Unis, not the Amex itself...

is that glow top middle Croydon alight?

 

[mune ni kamome]

I think Peacehaven are playing as well

 

[Mackenzie]

is that glow top middle Croydon alight?

Probably........looks like we'll surpass last seasons aggregate crowd attendance at the Huddersfield match. Good effort, which I'm sure will be appreciated by our friends up the road. They love all that statistical shit. And paraffin.

Horsham or Crawley. In fact, it's far more likely to be Crawley with Gatwick.

 

[Notters]

Who killed uckfield?

Can you hear the planes whooshing over head ThunderBolt?

Yo'll get me into trouble MacKenzie bring attendances into this thread.

Horsham- too far west for Crawley

Horsham- too far west for Crawley

That was my first thought but then I thought it was a bit too bright for Horsham.

How does a Canadian with The Right Stuff, know about little old Brighton? Two things....... there's a lot of dust on his lens and how does he Twitter from up there, when there are places in the English countryside where you can't.

I'd imagine you would've have a lot of problems getting signal from a satellite if you're actually in a satellite.

I'd also imagine he's quite geographically aware and quite a lot of people might have actually heard of Brighton.


And he might possibly have a map saying where they are

I've just watched a programme about Voyager 1 and 2. Voyager 1 is so far out it takes 30 hrs to communicate back and forth. Satellites have foot prints, so their signals are directed down, and are geostationary, the space station is whizzing around underneath them.
The photo is centered on Brighton, if you didn't know the area, it's a bit of a long shot as a random photo. Maybe I'm reading too much into it.

Who killed uckfield?

I was thinking that as i live there. I thinki its the very faint splurge about the same distance NNE of Lewes, which is the faint splurge NE of the Amex, as Lewes is from Brighton
