The International Space Station (ISS) was visible on the afternoon of January 12 from the Marina Alta. For just three minutes, a white dot could be seen moving in the sky right next to Venus and Saturn.
À Punt Oratge warned about this on its social networks, noting that it could be observed towards the southwest between 19:35 p.m. and 19:38 p.m. According to them, what was observed was the reflection of the sun on the solar panels of the Space Station.
🛰️🛰️Will you see the International Space Station any more?
Mireu cap to the south-west at 19:35 and saw Saturn on the coast of Venus.
Between 19:35 p.m. and 19:38 p.m. we will see a moving white punt that will pass along the coast of Saturn.
All we see is the reflection of the Sun on the panels… pic.twitter.com/0kX6T51Y0v— À Punt Oratge (@apuntoratge) January 12, 2025
The video shows a bright fixed point, Venus, and the ISS moving until it disappears from the frame in a recording captured from Els Poblets.
Great, for astronomy lovers I recommend the Stellarium APP… it is incredible, it identifies in real time all the visible stars, constellations, even those in the Southern Hemisphere… Regards, Marco.
Like several nights a month… If you look at their schedule of passage through Denia… And if there are no clouds…
