Is it a bird, is it a plane....

...no, it's the I.S.S. (International Space Station)!
As some of our guests will know, I do like to point out things of interest that are happening here and one of the things I make sure of telling everyone is the times that the ISS travels over Les Granges. Given the superb clear sky here it's usually pretty easy to spot the bright dot that is the space craft speeding overhead at over 400 kilometres a second, or put it another way, over 14,100 miles per hour, no wonder then that 90 minutes after this picture was taken, it passed over us again after doing a full circle of our planet...amazing!
