ETA: No, it's fked.

[Hooli]

Piccy works here

ETA: Being a touch fuzzy it makes me expect Fireball XL-5 to come past when I look at it

[funkyrobot]

Yep, it's a bit fuzzy but I like it so it doesn't matter too much.

[Hooli]

I wasn't knocking it, it's cool.

Sorry if my reply sounded a bit hostile. It wasn't meant to be. I was just agreeing with the fuzzy opinions but still thought it was great.

Can't see it on my laptop.

You need a telescope.

It works for me . I'm using Firefox though.

[knight]

Works fine for me too, (another Firefox user) I never realised how big the ISS was!

[jmorgan]

Nope, no luck in firefox.

Right. Go to a site called Spaceweather.com and follow the link from there. The picture is linked from the front page and is by Paco Bellido.

This should work. If it doesn't, fk it. I've tried.

[rxtx]

No mention of Saturn or any link on the front page.

[jmorgan]

I did try earlier but don't sweat it, I'll find it later

[Simpo Two]

I use Firefox but just tried in Explorer. At least that way I got a little red x rather than nothing

[Eric Mc]

No picture opening on my main computer either.

Link to website not working.

And I've tried the Spaceweather website and I can't see any links to a picture of the ISS with Saturn.

Oh well.

Spaceweather.com frontpage, then look at the text below:

'SPACE STATION FLYBYS: The International Space Station (ISS) is making a series of bright flybys over Europe and North America this week. It outshines everything in the evening sky except the Moon. Sky watchers in the USA and Canada, check your cell phone for flyby times. Predictions are also available on the web.

ISS images: from Paco Bellido of Cordoba, Spain; from Jayme Hanzak of Cedar Grove, North Carolina; from Jasper Mitchin of Worthington, Ohio'

I just tried it in IE and it worked.

Pi**ing stbags!

Edited to add my own swear filter. I didn't realise that the dodgy description of the art of urinating would pass through it. No pun intended.
