Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Just checked for sightings and there's nothing til at least July 1st, sorry folks .

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

There are no sightings in your area for the period of Friday Jun 15, 2018 through Sunday Jul 1, 2018

We update the list of space station sightings multiple times a week. Please check back in a few days to see if there are any upcoming sighting events for your area or sign up to receive email or text alerts the next time the space station will be visible overhead.
The space station’s orbit takes it all around the globe so it may pass over you at times when it's less visible, such as either in the middle of the day when it is too bright or the middle of the night when the sun is on the other side of the earth. The best sightings occur early morning before sunrise or in the evening shortly after sunset when the sky is dark but the sun can still reflect light off the metal structures of the space station.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

I remember last year my friend texted me and said come round we are all sitting in the garden drinking wine awaiting the space station to go over.

In my minds eye I was expecting something like the Millennium Falcon blazing over with Hans Solo waving at the helm. Someone shouted there it is! Two little lights moved across the sky to a group ooooo and a, oh is that it

Still great to see though.

Yes, there's no doubt that the astronauts view of us is better than our view of them.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

I’m pleased I have seen it though and would not turn down the chance to view it again

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

The good news is there are sightings coming up, the bad news is, as I suspected, they are at stupid o'clock

So for any of you insomniacs or (very) early birds here they are. Times are for Birmingham.



For times more pertinent to your area/country please see https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/
