Hello Pat,

 

Seeing your e-mail about looking for the Starlink satellites passing
overhead is there  some site where one can find out when these will be
passing overhead in our area.  Sherman Williams used to generally give us an
idea when to watch but his health is frail now I understand.  

 

The one I am really interested in following is the satellites 'Sky Train'  -
is this the same as the Starlink satellites you referred to?   One of our
Care Givers mentioned seeing them over Canning several weeks ago and what an
unexpected thrill it was, and I can well believe it. 

 

Interesting about fireflies being seen already.  Something to look forward
to.

Hope all well with you these days.  It certainly is a strange world these
days isn't it.

 

So stay safe, stay well.

 

Judy

I was out around 10:30 PM last night... as I was looking for the Starlink
satellites to pass overhead.... On my way down to the nearby cemetery, I saw
two flashes from a firefly.... and now there are a few flashing in my
backyard..... I have seen fireflies here in the past, and where I grew up in
Spryfield, but only in August and and even then, only on really warm still
nights..... 

 

Is it normal for them to be active at this time of the year?

 

Pat
