Quote:Rob, there are times that the International Space Station is blatantly visible to the Mk1 Eyeball.The ISS is in LEO, though; it's approximately 350km above the Earth's surface. The Earth/Luna L5 point is approximately 384,000km from the Earth's surface, depending on where Luna is in its orbit; that's three orders of magnitude of difference from LEO. Stellvia isn't three orders of magnitude larger than the ISS...
