For a long time I'd heard about Iridium flares, but not taken much trouble to see one. This week I took advantage of the uncommon spell of clear nights to pop out and look at a couple.
Not quite what I'd expected, so I went to look into them a little more. One of the things I discovered is that I nearly missed them. Soon they will be no more. (end of 2018.)
I'll leave others more expert than I to supply any more info, but suggest anyone who wants to see one, gets on to Heavens Above and takes advantage of their next anticyclone.
