International Space Station
We're camping the other weekend, and I was out enjoying the fire and doing a bit of stargazing. It's nice to get away from the noise and light pollution of the city and see what there is to see. I'm not much of an astronomer, but I can identify a few things up there. This was no different, and I picked out Jupiter, Mars and what might have been Saturn, and -- WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!? It was a light, about as bright as one of the planets, but moving in a straight line from south to east. I pulled out my phone and started up the free astronomy app that I have on there, and it tells me that it's the ISS. I didn't have time to go and get my good camera, but here's a crappy cell phone video of what I saw. Kind of cool.
