For those living in the southern California area, there will be a monster flare from Iridium 9 this evening (September 30th). The flare should occur sometime around 19:46:50 PDT, 50-55 degrees above the SW horizon (depending on your location). Jupiter will be nearby for reference, but I expect Iridium 9 to far outshine it while it is flaring. Skies are clear right now, so cross your fingers that the marine layer stays offshore! --Rob
