Saw it go over NorCal's twilight sky from about 6:20 to about 6:28. Amazing how fast it must be moving to cover that much distance.

I went out at 8:20 to 8:30 and didn't see it here in Ensenada. The sky was clear so I must have just missed it. Did you see it Bruce?

Last night I saw it for about 20 seconds. It was moving very fast directly overhead.

If you guys have watched other satellites while camping in Baja or outside anywhere on a clear, dark night... the space station is just a bit
brighter, not much... and moves at the typical satellite speed, not too fast... I watched it for at least 2 minutes the other night as it came out of
the north horizon and went to the east horizon. I even coaxed Baja Angel out to look... "just another satellite" she said and after 5 seconds went
back inside... lol!

The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that
the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes!

Jim it is only there for 2 seconds in the Video right around sec. 28. It moves so fast because it is a time lapse video
