via new route (Toronto)

Decided to take the bus home from downtown. Haven't done that for a while. First time for (er, to) my new home. I was about 50 metres down Durie, glancing at the Moon and Jupiter through the trees, when I caught a very bright object. And when I fixed on it, it quickly faded away. Ha! An Iridium. Very near Jupiter. So in the south-west. Maybe about 15° below. Pulled my mobile phone and checked the time: 5:42 PM.

It was Iridium satellite 57, to be exact.
