(SNES) Fun in the Moon's Glare

["Steve Brandt" <stevebrandt@mediaone.net>]

Hi Everyone,

One of the real kicks I get from astronomy is hearing the "oohs" and "ahs"
after showing friends objects in the night sky that they have never seen
before.  Tonight was a real show stopper.

Sitting outside with my neighbors on their front porch tonight at around
8:45, I casually pointed to a part of the sky just below Cygnus and told
them to watch very carefully.  Within another few minutes, an Iridium flare
of -8 magnitude passed north to south, directly in front of their porch.
They thought it was one of the neatest things they had ever seen.  So did I.

Clear skies,
Steve B.
