A very bright satellite was visible this morning at about 6:40 AM, in a highly inclined polar orbit, nearly north-south. It passed right through Cygnus before winking out, and was easily brighter than 1st magnitude. Orbiting south-to-north. Anybody else spot it? And how about that moonset this morning? It was just barely north of due west as it set behind the GSL, from my vantage point. Beautiful.
