We first heard about to the flyby from a fellow Space Nerd on Twitter – Italian Ignazio Magnani – who is for the record NOT an Astronaut.

This ISS fly-over was one of the best in recent times. Moving over at the perfect time of night, not long after sunset, ensuring a bright and speedy spectacle above the city.

Now, it turns out, the ISS is doing multiple passes of Perth this weekend – like a bogan doing bog laps on a Sunday in Freo.

The So Perth website, Facebook page and Twitter account went crazy after we posted about the flyover on February 23rd.
