Using information from the German Space Operation Center's web page at http://www.gsoc.dlr.de/ as a guide, my three sons and I just observed our first Iridium flare, from Iridium-43. Don't last too long, do they? ;-) We are all suitably excited and looking forward to seeing more, as well as the other "regular" satellites.
