O / T International Space Station ISS

[catcher]

Ok way of topic but very cool regardless. I have always been fascinated with planes and things in space. If you go to this site you enter in your country and then follow the options to your home town you can see if there any sightings of the space station from your area. It will tell you the exact time and location of the space station as it goes by over head. I check it out often. What you are looking for is the biggest star in the sky except it has a orange kinda glow to it and it moves across the sky faster than say a plane would be going across at thirty thousand feet. And when they say it is there at 7:45 p.m. it is there then not sooner or later it is very accurate. And it will tell you for how long you can see it as well. The average is I would say is 2 to 3 minutes. If you are into that sort of thing check it out.

It said it would be visible from my location at 6:59PM today, traveling NW to NNE @ 15º elevation.

We looked and there it was!

Thanks for the link - cool to see it and know what you're seeing.

I was able to see it streak across the sky a few years ago. Went to high school with Cmdr Mike Fincke who has been up there a couple of times and is going up again in the future. Nice guy.
