Moon Tonight

madmac187 · 2017-05-07 20:51:36

Here in Laois I'm looking at the moon and there is something that kinda looks like a star underneath it. I'm wondering what it is as no other stars are out. I'm wondering is it a star or satellite or something. Any ideas folks?

Wondering the same. ISS seems to be tracking over the Pacific at the mo, so i presume that's not it
