Very bright light, moving at a rate of knots
over Sydney going SE in a very straight line (no other lights is one of the giveaways). I checked it out on the live position plot as well. Seen it before, but still very nice to see.
Endeavour's attached to the ISS at the moment. Luckily, my daughter was there as well. She's not quite 5 1/2, but I was explaining they were retiring the shuttles as they were old and might have metal fatigue. She told me the metal breaks because the atoms don't hold onto each other any more. We might make a scientist of her yet.
