The other day a photo was posted on one of the sciencey Facebook pages, saying that the International Space Station (ISS) would be visible from Sydney for approximately 5 minutes. Being fascinated with space, an anything concerning it, this sparked my interest, so I googled it, and as luck would have it, on Friday night it was going to fly directly over New Zealand! NW to SE at a height of 85 degrees. So come Friday night I stayed up to see it! I was not disappointed! Very very cool thing to see!
Unfortunately I did’t have a real camera, though I am suprised how well my iPhone did:
Here it is above my house - the Orange/Red dot is the Internet antenna on the roof:
and here is a video I was able to get (again very impressed with the phone camera)
