mommy, what’s that twinkle in the sky?…oh dear is just astronaut urine!!!
If you are star-gazing folk who saw this wonderful spectacle of lights that looked like a comet than I have news for you. What you saw was urine being dumped from the space shuttle Discovery. According to Space.com:
The water dump was a scheduled task for STS-128 pilot Kevin Ford, who poured out urine and waste water stored aboard the shuttle in preparation for a landing attempt Thursday.
Unfortunately I did not see it since where live I can barely see the Lil’ Dipper, the Big Dipper and the lights coming from planes…
