TIANGONG-1 SIGHTINGS: China's first space station, an 8.5-ton experimental module named Tiangong-1 (Heavenly Palace-1), is flying over the United States this week.

"It was surprisingly bright, easily seen with the unaided eye." Readers, check Spaceweather's Satellite Tracker for sighting opportunities in your hometown.

China's new space station, the Tiangong 1, is making a series of evening flybys over the United States this week. Sky watchers who go out to see it might spot a second spacecraft. The unmanned Shenzhou 8 probe is traveling alongside Tiangong 1 as it concludes maneuvers designed to test the craft's rendevous and docking capabilities. Check the Satellite Tracker or your smartphone for local flyby times.On Nov. 14th, David Blanchard watched the docked spacecraft glide past the Andromeda galaxy in the crystal-clear skies of Flagstaff, Arizona:
Вариации блеска (вращение) были - или только за счёт изменения фазового угла?

Ну, ну это как бы не "Кихоул", а IMEWS.
