It's only visible for 3 mins jb so don't miss it! It's tracking NW to SE directly overhead here in Kent, so it'll be further to the south if you are "up country". Over Florida at the moment, heading our way - you can check here
http://spaceflight.na...a/tracking/index.html and run outside just as it gets to Cornwall.

Sherrad it's big and shiny and travelling in a dead straight line, fast, across the sky. It doesn't twinkle or blink, just big yellow and shiny!

It's bigger than your average star jb, once you've seen it you won't be able to mistake it again.
