Coincidentally spotted the #ISS last night from our roof top. Light from the setting sun in the west illuminated an object moving eastwards across the clear sky at rather incredible speed. At first it looked like a very fast airplane but it had no blinking lights, it was just a single spot of light. A friend noted the current time (18:44) when it had moved past Jupiter which could also be seen, and later looked up the object in #stellarium and confirmed that what we saw was indeed the ISS 😀 🛰 ✨
ISS visible passes (in Berlin) :

For your specific event: 22:18 near jupiter :
@oa wow great! What puzzles me though: the ISS did in reality pass significantly "below" Jupiter when we looked at it, like quite a few arc degrees at least. Yet all the charts show ISS passing *exactly* over Jupiter. Where does the discrepancy come from? Ground elevation of Berlin??
@oa what we saw was more like here, quite far off:
@neeels Um, you're gonna have to wait a while before you see the ISS over Berlin again. Unless you get up in the middle of the night, it seems that it could be possible from July 19 (unless an alien intervention organized by the FBI in Area 51 forces NASA to change all its plans of course).
@neeels The ISS will cross Berlin's longitude every hour and a half. But will pass over berlin during the day and under the horizon during the night. It will be necessary to wait for everything to shift gradually so that the ISS has higher passages and synchronized with our nights.
@oa ZDF.de currently showing a documentary about Alexander Geerst's trip to the #iss *right now*, also including images of the orbit. Now it all makes sense. https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/die-nacht-der-raumfahrt-mit-harald-lesch-100.html
@oa my heart was in xberg, maybe my mind went off to Neubrandenburg?? ... I think I need to try and spot the #ISS again and see if i can reproduce le offset or identify my mistake (if not a huge conspiracy! ISS is leaking chemtrails in space to cause fake global warming so the freemasons can hide the aliens' ufo heat signatures and capitalism can continue to vaccinate us with sterility genes!!! So that's why they don't want us to know its REAL orbit! Is this true? It might? O_o')
