Iridium flare tonight (July 13)

Jul 13th, 2009 | By | Category: Events

There’s going to be a nice flare tonight (July 13) at
21:04:33, -4 magnitude, 65 degrees high, in the east (84° degrees).

I’m also going to start posting these events on Twitter
at richastrova (note the VA on the end, richastro was taken).

    It looked like it was right above Vega.

    I saw it – it was higher and brighter than what heavens above said it would be. Unfortunately the shuttle launch got stormed out today. They will try again Wednesday. This would give us another object to find in the sky, chasing after the ISS like Orion chases the Pleiades.
