The International Space Station will be visible again tonight. Rising at 21:10 in Staffordshire, it will rise in the west between the stars Sirius and Rigel, in the constellations of Canis Major and Orion respectively. It will head up towards Mars for 21:15, it will then split the constellations Bootes and Virgo before disappearing below the horizon in the East. Fingers crossed the clouds clear before the BBC claim they will.

Hey everybody! The May 5th 2012 full moon is a Super Moon! In case you don’t know the Super moon is a moon that is full at the point in its orbit at which it is closest to the earth – AKA perigee-syzygy.
The Perigee of course is the term for being closest to the earth and the syzygy is the term for the alignment of the Sun, the Earth and The Moon (in that order) creating the full moon!
The moon appears about 16% larger but its relative as you don’t have anything to gauge it against.
Just a fun FYI!
