Facts about Iridium:
after sunset. You can see a magnitude -8 (half the
brightness of the moon)
flash lasting a second or two. It looks like an aircraft landing light
pointed straight at you.
Oh dear, then what I told my daughter were Iridium were not. They
fasleh at about 1Hz right across the sky. I had the
idea that they flashed because they were
rotating and flat sides were flashing light as they moved across the
sky.
