Space Station Passed Directly Over OUR house !

I'm not back to blogging just yet,
but wanted to share something REALLY
amazing that that happened last evening.

This is confirmation for me
~ from the Universe ~
that I am indeed on a VERY good path.   :)


Back on June 15th, I made a blog post -

Gotta Get Goals ~ Tag

I started out that post with these words.................

Have you ever heard someone say…

“That was a light bulb moment?”

Well, I have had one of those AND then some.

You want to know HOW then some it is…. Okay.

The light bulbs that went on for me yesterday

morning would be the amount of light generated

to see an entire city from the International

Space Station that is circling the Earth.
   

YEP…. I’m guessing ABOUT that many light bulbs. !!!

Well... last night the

International Space Station

and the Space Shuttle passed

- DIRECTLY - over our house !!!!!!


I heard it on the news last night a local
meteorologist, Dick Goddard said to look in the
sky between 9:30 pm and 9:42 pm.
He said it would be visable in the North West sky
and would be travelling South - South East at a
speed of 17,500 MPH.

About 9:29 pm my hubby Michael, son Kevin and
myself were standing on our back deck
scanning the night sky.   What a SIGHT we
made.   The sky was crystal clear.   Venus
was clearly visible in the Western sky as it
has been for serveral days.

Michael spotted it first.    The time frame
of it's visibility, maybe all of 3 minutes.
I was able to snap a couple of pictures and
will share one here.   It's was a clear dot, even
though there appears to be more of it, from the
picture.    A tripod might have helped there.
As they stated we did see the shuttle too, but
due to it's size, the light was much less intense.

Space Station Will Be Visible In Sky Tonight
June 21, 2007

CLEVELAND -- The international space station will be flying

directly over northeast Ohio on Thursday night, and if
conditions are clear, you will be able to see it in the night sky.

The station will appear as a moving bright dot.
There will be no red, green or strobe lights.

The light is sunlight reflected off the station itself.

Depending on its departure, the space shuttle will

be seen as a lesser light moving in the same path
within two minutes afterward.

While it is not that unusual to see the station,

it is normally not this bright nor does it visibly pass

so directly over us.

who GET THIS. !
