See the International Space Station tonight

[V_R]

Weather permitting...!

The ISS will be passing over TONIGHT Apparently it'll be quite bright tonight too.

Tonights brightest pass is at 8:54PM (ish - depending on your location) and will be brighter than anything else in the sky.

Put your details into here for more information.

For a trial run at seeing where it'll be download Stellarium

Sod's Law always applies.

Whenever there's anything of interest in the sky you can guarantee that it will be cloudy. And it was last night.

Missed this thread yesterday but no matter, it was pouring with rain all evening and by the looks of my plants this morning, raining most of the night as well.

Bugger, as they say
