Space Station Flyby
 

Just saw the ISS do a flyby almost directly overhead. It was visible for about 5 minutes from Southwest to Northeast.

Me too. 'twas cool.

Watched it with my son. May have contracted West Nile in the process. Skeeters are baaaaad!!!

Saw that a couple months ago its a pretty neat sight, would be pretty cool to watch with a telescope. Moon is looking nice tonight too.

I wish my telescope could track that fast. It will track the moon but that's as fast as it goes. :(

Not going to happen, you can sometimes see it pretty good with a good pair of Binoculars.

I have an app on my phone that sends an alarm 5 minutes before it passes, then when you go outside you look at your phone and it has an arrow to point where to look. Called ISS Detector, I have another app called Droid Sky View, you can do a search and it will point to constellations. You can also point it a star and it will tell you what star it is.

Last night you could see Venus, Mercury and Mars. They were all in one area.

I saw it fly over head about a month ago while I was offshore. Was a pretty cool thing to see.

Yall drinkin too much shine . . .lol

Here is a very detailed picture of the station when it was passing last night!.....

Does it fly over again tonight

Saw it fly a few times out in the Mediterranean and the North Arabian Sea. No lights at all out there. Wish I could have had my phone on the flight deck but that's a big no no at night especially during night ops.

Really cool sight when you get to see it against a pitch black sky.

Probably so. LoL
