5 December, 2008 (16:32) | ALERTS | By: tramakers

A nice Iridium flare is forecasted for tonight from the CE area (Covington, Monroe, Mansfield, Social Circle). The right antena of Iridum 5 will reflect the sun at 7:16pm. The center of the flare is located just a little north of Covington and its brightness is forecasted at mag: -6.7 so it will be very bright.

The location of the flare is at 165.2° SSE altitude= 26.9° in constellation Sculptor..
If you have time, see if you can see it!

Clear skies,
Theo Ramakers
