Remember that there are 4 cameras that switch in and out as well.

Yeah, I've seen two of them thus far. . .

It's going directly over the Great Salt Lake in moments.  We should be able to see that.

Actually refresh that image.  If you refresh it, it shows the station now north of Lake Superior.  :confused:

Yes it is.  The station is farther ahead than depicted on the map. It's passing the terminator now back into darkness.

Yeah I noticed that just before I read your post. Hard to keep track without major landmarks to orient location with. I  saw it crossing toward the darkness divide and refreshed and sure enough. . .

I guess you have to refresh every 10 minutes or so to keep the positioning current on the map.
