Space Shuttle Sighting!

[Guest_]

Just saw the Space Shuttle discovery whizz past Ireland at around 10:35 tonight. I think it is visible again around the same time tomorrow night. Perfectly clear sky tonight...pretty awe inspiring sight.

Missed it. How long was it visible for?

Around a minute or so.

Initially I was looking at something else thinking it was the shuttle but it wasn't! When it did appear it was very clear. From Youtube...

Tonight the second "dot" was not there just one. The second "dot" was the fuel tanker being released.
