handy santa hint for parents of young kiddies

[viridis]

It might well be possible to show your kiddies "Santa's sleigh" on Xmas eve if the skies are clear enough.
The international space station will cross the uk (as it regularly does, if you haven't seen it it really is an amazing sight) at 2 times with 5:24 being brightest.

Wed Dec 24, 5:24 PM
Length of pass 4 min
Maximum height 45°
Appears 35 degrees above WSW
Disappears 12 degrees above SE

A perfect opportunity to show the kiddies Santa's trip across the sky.

Very many thanks @viridis. As a 69 year old incorrigible believer in Santa Claus I was delighted to the exoected vehicle in the appointed place at the expected time. Unashamed to admit I was thrilled!!! :0))

I agree...and sad to say I had no idea we actually could see this as clearly...(weather permitting of course)

Oh well I am still tracking Santa via the Norad site...Never too old as they say...

Edit. he is currently over Uganda
