Can someone explain in layman's terms. What am I clicking, what am I looking at. Clicked on one thing and it went on for ages.
Sorry if I sound a bit thick.

Yes and it will be visible for the longest period (6 minutes) so set your phones alarm to give you a reminder...

Groucho, saw the international space station last time it passed over, fascinating. eager to see it again.
Out with friends for a meal at Zeugma so did what you suggest set my phone alarm.
Newish phone, not all singing all dancing, just a bog standard little phone. alarm went off couldn't find out how to cancel it so it continued to trill for about 30 mins on & off. Felt a right plonker
Still didn't see the space station, will try again tonight

7pm... but learn how to cancel the alarm first - or your fellow diners might object!
If you sit with the sea right in front of you it should appear from over your left shoulder heading out to your right towards Eastern Turkey/Syria.

No need for the alarm, I shall be home on my roof tonight. It won't escape me this time. Thanks for the info of which direction to watch for Groucho. N S E & W mean nothing to me, save me craning my neck round in circles
