Hi,
I live on the Central East coast of Austrralia. I heard that cosmos 1 will be clearly vissible to the naked eye.
Where abouts in the night sky should I look, to try and spot it? What would I see?
thanks and cheers

Cosmos 1 has apparently been successfully launched :-) <http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4110912.stm> and Heavens-Above is already giving predictions, with the caveat that the solar sail won't be deployed for a few days. Let's hope that works too.
