"We found 23 flybys over your area in the next 10 days"
That isn't all that much, I expected more.
Decades ago, my uncle came to visit us, but he had to be outside at a certain time. "Why?" "To watch SkyLab pass by" "You can see that?!"
I was never so fascinated by a dot in the sky. I knew SkyLab from pictures in books and the TV space shows, but to actually see it IRL through binoculars, wow.

Re: Satellite Flybys
The Leonid showers are much more pleasant to watch while laying in the backyard with a beer in hand, but I'll still be checking out some falling rocks in the next little bit, I'll just have to bundle up more and take a break from making ice.
