the ISS on Christmas Eve

[ArmyAirForce]

For this pass, it clouded over right as it was clearing the horizon. Glad I saw it at 4:20.

you could see it through the clouds here in Cardiff. Had a look through the 20x80 binos, could pick out the rectangular shape of the solar panels.  It was quite a long pass as well.

Saw both passes with the kids, first pass the better due to clouds on the second,

Kids smiles were ear to ear and screams of excitement.........fantastic!!

Merry Christmas all,

Bungielad.

Just back inside from taking my daughter to see "santas sleigh" absolutely brilliant. There is a very festive atmosphere in my house this evening! I do t think she will be sleeping much though!

That was worth every minute. The excitement on my little ones face was priceless

After all of that a) I forgot and b ) it is clear after having been totally clouded over 30 minutes ago.

I've got 2 excited children and 1 wife who believes again! There was even a red glow as it gained height which I could swear was Rudolph's nose......

We saw it to, violet almost exploded! Whilst we were outside, wifey put violets Christmas pyjamas next to the fire, so when we came in, Santa had dropped off a little something on his way past!

Never heard a 6 year old scream so loudly!!!!!

Christmas is going well so far :-)

Great reports from all you guys with little ones, enjoy the rest of the festivities.

Managed to see the 6pm pass with my 4 year old son, between the clouds here in Manchester. But he was worried that Santa might be on his way back to the North Pole... He's fast asleep now so can't have been that worried.

 It's moments and memories like this that make life so special.

I didnt see the iss but definitely saw santa at about 6.05pm so he must have been running late. I told the kids he would be passing at 6pm so were very impressed, even my eldest whos beginning to have doubts couldnt quite work out how this had happened unless it really was santa.

fab stuff !

I'm not sure my 1 year old understood, but it was a great site
