Strange ISS sighting (not flaring at all)
Hi,
About 30 minutes after a sunset, I was ready to watch a predicted pass of the ISS. The sky was still blueish and I'm pretty sure I saw the ISS passing not bright at all. First, it appeared as predicted, flaring for a second and then it became just black. It was like a black dot flying at the same speed that I'm used to see for the ISS. I have very good eyes and I'm pretty sure it was not an airplane.
Can somebody tell me if it's possible to see the ISS as a black dot when the sky is still blue after sunset?
Thanks.
