[/quote] No, this thing moves way slower than a meteorite, but a bit faster than a plane. [/quote] Yes, that sounds about right. I'd also recommend the heavens-above.com site. You can also use it to see if what you saw matches a known satellite. [/quote]
Original Message
I mean I know they move around 14000km per hour or something, but I want to know how fast does it fly overhead when you see it in the night sky? How fast does that light move, like faster than a plane or slower?
Oh and also is it visible as a small star, or a bigger brighter one?
