[Chaos-l] ISS Transit of Moon on December 1st

[Robert Nielsen]

Everyone,

You know, the more and more I look at this ... the more I'm confused 
(never mind whether the times are in EST or UTC).  If I read the 
information on the SkyCal site, it says the time of the event is 
12:24:xx.    If you pull down the field for hours, the allowed values 
are 0-23.     So that mean the time shows a value in the middle of the 
day, right?   Even if that was UTC, subtract 5 hours and we're already 
past sunrise on December 1st.

The best I can tell, it's saying that the ISS will pass in front of the 
moon roughly around noon on December 1st.   Are we going to be able to 
see that?   Like Michael said, the moon will only be ~21% illuminated 
... and the ISS is moving pretty fast.   Sure you can see the moon in 
the daytime, but still ...
