Funny you should post this today - just this morning my 6yo son and I were heading out the door to drive to Brisbane and he said "Dad is that a shooting star?" - it was the ISS, heading north. Surprisingly big and bright too.

I'm sure this is well known, but in case anyone hasn't discovered it yet..

Never again wonder "is that a star or a planet?" Just hold your phone up to the sky and find out.

Heavens above is another good site too .

I use the Night Sky App on the iPad.

Hold it up at the sky and it tells you what all the constellations are.

You do get a sore neck after a while.

Well done!
