Unusually this month we are being treated to two full moons. Tonight you’ll be able to see the first which is a Harvest Moon and the second will be on 31st Oct - a Halloween ‘Hunter’s Moon’ 👻. I took this 📷 from the #ISS in 2016. #spacephotography #moonphotography #fullmoon

How cool was that - a lovely @Space_Station pass followed a few minutes later by a much fainter but clearly visible @SpaceX.

You can see the @Space_Station pass over the UK tonight, 22:10 BST. Look west, low on the horizon & it will cross to the south east, passing beneath the moon. If @SpaceX launches, it will follow about 5 mins later. The sky will be too light to see SpX on 1st pass after launch.

This is the view during reentry, as temperatures outside reach around 1900C and g-loads build up to 4 or 5g. The atmosphere is essentially your air brake for several minutes. #SpaceX
