Real time UARS satellite tracking

Backdoor didn't work; but, the new Norad link worked in an instant. Thank you! Now all I need is popcorn. I know, I know, I have to go get it myself.

I cannot get either of the links to load for me.

I did however find the N2YO.com map embedded on Fox's site. It was working about 10 min. ago but now that won't load either.

www.foxnews.com...

I bet half of the IT connected world is trying to long into these two sites...
Both links are down for me too... but they do come back... unless we crashed the servers with all the hype????

It just went over Missouri and I didn't go outside to look because the sites wouldn't load...

I hope it makes another fly-by in Missouri, I really wanted to see if it was making a nice firework display.

Has anyone seen it live in person going over?

I'm in Northern Ontario sky covered with cloud no luck here
tomorrow is the big day any way

Am I reading this right? It is traveling 4.85 miles per second? It can't be going that fast can it? Sorry if this is a stupid question, just trying to learn...

Yes, I think so. 1 3/4ths hours ago, WSW of me. Naked eye. It was a bright flash, brighter than a falling star. Trail was very short. Shorter than a falling star. It flashed again shortly after my first sighting, and longer the next time. It didn't make a "straight line" like falling stars either. Brightness guesstimate, two times brighter than other stars in my view at the time.

Well I got my beer and popcorn ready for 9pm tonight. I'll be darned if that sucker is going to go right over my head here in the UK! Clear night as well... result!

Charging up the Flip Video HD camera, if I catch a glimpse I'll get it on Youtube asap

Edit: Looking at the projected track here we should start to see the first of the night videos appearing soon. Apparently it's bouncing off the atmosphere and should be getting pretty damn hot by now.

Also noticed that the time of 9pm for the UK pass is wrong, it won't be on this orbit but on the next, about 2 hours from now so 10pm.
