In the coming days we will be able to see the space shuttle Discovery and the International Space Station, several golden opportunities for this are expected in the evening and night hours. In the hours after sunset and before sunrise, the earth's surface is dark, however, the shuttle, the space station and other satellites sailing at an altitude of about 400 km are in daylight.
The solar panels and various coatings on the station and the shuttle reflect the sunlight back to the earth and we see a "star" crossing the evening sky in about 4-5 minutes from horizon to horizon. The direction of movement of the satellites (with the exception of a few launched from a friendly Middle Eastern country) is from west to east with a certain component towards north or south.
You can find when and where the shuttle, the space station and satellites will arrive at heavens-above.com and many more in the evening sky - from anywhere in the world. During the coming week there will be several golden opportunities to view the space station and the shuttle as a bright point of light. To see them you don't need binoculars or a telescope, you have to go out into an open area where the sky is not hidden a minute or two before

  1. I wonder what previous opinion Erez had about Muslims, considering that he was the one who posted the link to a Muslim conversion website, under the pen name 'Livna'. He also tries to keep posting this link in response to most articles, and only constant supervision prevents him from doing so.

    Are we encountering a serious situation of split personality here?

  2. To Erez, Nice Trey, now your name is Erez, before you were called Livna...

    The response was: "Bivna's connection is nice and interesting despite my opinion on Muslims again I think the article is interesting"... Explanation in Roi's response.

  3. I transferred and he says that there is a contradiction, because the man claims that the Tanach is not true but on the other hand he accepts Islam for which the Tanach is also considered a holy book. Friend, tell me how much a good Chinese meal costs in Damascus and leave us alone here, we have enough of our religious people……

  4. Levana, the article is not about the speed of light, the speed of the space station is very far from the speed of light.
    Second - your link also deals with a thousand and one religious sermons but not at the speed of light and therefore it will be deleted within a few minutes.

  5. The speed of light is very important
