Twinkle Twinkle Little Star


Max is always excited about road trips to California and this weekend was no exception. He even found a hotel with decent pillows. Anyway, we were watching Spaced on BBC America after a day of traveling when Max started screaming something about a UFO. I was a touched confused as well by a bright, fast moving object with none of the standard aircraft lights.

Luckily, Anna remembered a recent Skype call with Mike Fincke, ISS commander. The new solar array makes the ISS the second brightest object in the night sky -- brighter than Venus. A quick visit to N2YO confirmed her theory while completely shattering Max's dreams. I guess he'll have to save his "Take me to your leader speech" for next time.
