Here is yet another way to combine satellite observations with the solar eclipse on 3-OCT-05. A transit of the ISS in front of a partially eclipsed Sun will be visible from parts of Scottland, Southern Scandinavia, North-East Germany and Eastern Europe. There are two passes (all times are in UTC): First Pass OCT 3 8:29:30 -7.283° 56.599° OCT 3 8:29:40 -5.716° 56.684° OCT 3 8:29:50 -4.180° 56.762° OCT 3 8:30:00 -2.667° 56.830° OCT 3 8:31:10 7.441° 57.045° OCT 3 8:31:20 8.831° 57.035° OCT 3 8:31:30 10.210° 57.015° OCT 3 8:31:40 11.578° 56.984° OCT 3 8:31:50 12.935° 56.943° OCT 3 8:32:00 14.281° 56.891° OCT 3 8:32:10 15.616° 56.829° OCT 3 8:32:20 16.940° 56.756° OCT 3 8:32:30 18.252° 56.673° OCT 3 8:33:00 22.121° 56.360° OCT 3 8:33:30 25.881° 55.955° OCT 3 8:34:00 29.528° 55.459° OCT 3 8:34:30 33.055° 54.877° OCT 3 8:35:00 36.458° 54.212° Second Pass: OCT 3 10:03:40 -7.312° 56.817° OCT 3 10:03:50 -5.987° 56.741° OCT 3 10:04:00 -4.674° 56.653° OCT 3 10:04:10 -3.373° 56.556° OCT 3 10:05:40 7.778° 55.219° OCT 3 10:05:50 8.951° 55.021° OCT 3 10:06:00 10.110° 54.814° OCT 3 10:06:10 11.256° 54.598° OCT 3 10:06:20 12.387° 54.374° OCT 3 10:06:30 13.505° 54.140° OCT 3 10:06:40 14.608° 53.897° OCT 3 10:06:50 15.697° 53.647° OCT 3 10:07:00 16.771° 53.387° OCT 3 10:07:10 17.831° 53.120° OCT 3 10:07:20 18.877° 52.845° OCT 3 10:07:30 19.909° 52.561° OCT 3 10:07:40 20.926° 52.270° OCT 3 10:07:50 21.929° 51.972° OCT 3 10:08:00 22.918° 51.666° OCT 3 10:08:30 25.800° 50.707° OCT 3 10:09:00 28.559° 49.688° OCT 3 10:09:30 31.198° 48.613° OCT 3 10:10:00 33.723° 47.488° OCT 3 10:11:00 38.447° 45.099° OCT 3 10:12:00 42.779° 42.549° OCT 3 10:13:00 46.763° 39.865° You should be within 7 km (Scottland) to 3 km (Eastern Eurpoe) of the central line to see the event.
