[Chaos-l] ISS Lunar transit

[walter fowler]

Something was missing in reporting this correction.  I looked at the link
because the event apparently occurs right over my house but the maps are
labelled "Passes for Sat. 25544" whatever that means.  Could you give me the
date one more time?  The other confusing thing is following the path on the
Google map it looks like it's over my house at 12h 25min 41.65sec (is this
UT?) but it's a mile northeast two tenths of a sec before this and a mile
southwest two tenths of a sec after.  Is it really moving that fast?  Please
clarify since I'm "right on the money."  Thanks.  Walter Fowler
