That dot is the Space Shutte Discovery and the International Space Station. They flew over my house this evening, a bright star in a starless sky racing from Northwest to Southeast. I think they waved at me as I raised high a pint of Guinness.
It’s hard to imagine anything cooler.
Here’s a link to NASA’s satellite sighting info site, which gives sighting info for almost anywhere in the world.

thanks for putting up a pic. We missed that opportunity, but did see ’em fly over Stonewall, TX. What a site?! we raised our buds and thought we too saw ’em wave at us! I hope you don’t mind that I use your pic on my blog….will give you credit for taking it. Good site!
oppps. Just noticed the copyright….may I use your photo on my blog?
