This week I learned.....

.........that you can see the International Space Station from outside my workplace.

When I arrived at work on Thursday morning there were a couple of people staring up at the sky, hoping it wasn't a hoax I asked what they were doing.

It turns out that if you go to the site below it will tell you when the ISS is in your neighbourhood. It looked like a moving star, or a plane with a light constantly on, rather than flashing.

I was impressed.

You can see the bus station from my office window.

It's got bus spotters and everything.

And a cafe. Does your so-called "International Space Station" have a cafe?

I haven't seen any spotty buses. They're not much good at it are they?

The spots are a camouflage thing.

That's why you can't see them.
