While fooling around, I noticed there's a chance to catch two cosmos satellite somewhat near each other:) I like to try and see satellites close together. I have seen noss a few times COSMOS 623 1 06991U 73104G 04002.16708760 .00000000 00000-0 10000-3 0 2213 2 06991 74.0270 238.1153 0062635 327.8546 31.8696 12.56849493378302 COSMOS 1057 1 11134U 78109G 03365.20906306 -.00000003 00000-0 89420-4 0 8459 2 11134 74.0146 239.9126 0021499 6.7586 353.3745 12.42037076136803 When they reach a height of 42 degree above the horizon at around 0:46 UT ( Jan 11 ), they are predicted to be seperated by approx 1.1 degrees. So take a look at a pass of them between 0 to 1 UT on Jan 11, and see what it will appear to you. These won't be seen naked eye as far as I can tell, so get out the binoculars/scope. Not how sure they bright they appear. Will have to check the ppas database for any observations on them. Won't be as nice as seeing two naked eye satellites together like last aug, when envisat and it's rocket were seperated by 10 degrees as seen from my location. Just thought I let you know.
