This morning before sunrise, I got to see a satellite cross the sky.
With the full moon, Jupiter and Venus all so brightly lit up,
this new brilliant light moving across the sky was almost startling.

The satellite went from upper right to lower left in this map, and passed just
below Alnitak (marked with a circle) and Alnitan (middle star) in Orion's belt.

Silly to be excited by what now must be a common event, but it blew me away !
