This morning I managed to catch ISS skipping across the moon.
It arrived nearly two seconds early , and was slightly south of the
predicted track.
The US Geological Survey is quoted today as saying that the quake may have
rattled earth's orbit.....

I pretty sure the time difference I encountered this morning may be due to
my incorrect GPS time synchronisation.....but would be interested to know if
anyone else suspects a slight orbit change.
BTW video of this mornings transit can be found at
