Howdy Guys,
Well, I am not really one for astronomy, however, I do enjoy tracking over 500 satellites with "JTRACK 3D". you can find "jtrack" at this link:
http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/jtr.../JTrack3D.html and from there you can click on Jtrack 3d which will appear in a smaller window. This java applet is brought to you by NASA, there are several neat features with the program including the tracking of the ISS and the Space shuttle.
I was tracking the space shuttle 3 yrs ago when it burnt up on re entry and at the same time I was using noaa's weather radar to look for the shuttle (this was before it burnt up) as it re entered the atmoshere, instead I saw the debris filled sky as see by the radar. The noaa radar allows you to see the weather in any of the US states and/or terotories. It can be found here:
http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ridge/ . I am sure the UK probably has a similar site.
But anyway, the Jtrack program will tell you when any satellite of your chosing will be over your area. Its too complicated for me to explain how, but after you play with it awhile, you will learn how.
Be sure to check em out.
Have a good day,
Greg aka GW
