Tonight has a great International Space Station viewing - TopicsExpress



          

Tonight has a great International Space Station viewing opportunity for northern California. At 9:09 p.m. PDT, look southwest. It will appear in that direction, then rise to a maximum height of 77 degrees (horizon is 0 degrees, straight up is 90 degrees, to give you an idea), and it will set in the northeast. The whole process will take 6 minutes. It will look like a constantly moving bright star. To give you an idea of what it looks like, I took this video of a couple seconds of the last good ISS pass with my cell phone last time we had one. Look up opportunities to see the space station pass over your home area: spotthestation.nasa.gov Learn more about what our center does to support the ISS: nasa.gov/centers/ames/about/impact-station.html #spotthestation
