    Nano Sail- Still Sailing!, For now.

    The Nano Sail was passing over the island and possibly its last fly over this week and luckily captured it due to its rapid decaying orbit it was a challenge to captured it due to its unpredictable course. Some flash burst is seen from its angle deflecting the sun light. Animation was made with 40 frames. ( Nano Sail exspected to re-enter in approaximately 3 weeks from now )

    Never did look for it. Now likely too late. Nice catch.
