Good evening!
At around six this morning, I spotted the International Space Station passing above my house. It was one of the best spottings I have ever seen because it was one of the largest, brightest, and longest passings I've ever seen. The space station was visible for two minutes straight, which is pretty long considering how quick the space station travels ( 5 miles every second, that's 18,000 MPH or 28,968.192 KPH for you folks not in the States). It's not of terribly good quality, but attached is a photo of the International Space Station this morning. Thanks for reading this article!

Good morning, all my wonderfully readers. Today, I have a big announcement for the Science Blurbs blog.
For the past few months, the Science Blurbs blog has been straying away from the science fun facts it started with to a focus more on science news and the science behind the headlines. Seeing this, I have changed the name of the blog to SciLines. Nothing else has changed except for the name. Anyways, thanks for reading this post and the SciLines blog. See you all later! On Monday, we had the largest moon since 1948. Why did the Moon get bigger? It's because of some things we call perigee and apogee. The perigee is the closest the Moon comes to Earth. The apogee is the opposite, it is the farthest the Moon goes away from our Earth. This Monday, the moon's perigee was less than it usually was, making it closer and it made it look bigger. Now you know the science behind this week's super-moon!
