Hello, I was looking
at potential ISS sighting data by city and noticed that in Toronto
on Dec. 2, there would be two sightings roughly 1.5 hours apart.
What are the factors involved that are allowing two sightings
over the same area in such a short period of time: ISS Monday,
Dec. 02/05:28 p.m. and ISS Monday Dec. 02/07:04 p.m.?
