Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Two chances to see the ISS tonight (Thursday)

Not one but two! and at the same price......nothing....

First one lowish at 10:03pm for 3 minutes

second one higher at 11:39pm for 6 minutes! yes 6 minutes....

Go outside, look South, it will go sort of from West to East across the sky, bright white unblinking light

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

There is an app for Android phones called "ISS Detector Satellite" that's free to download on Google Play.

It gives alerts when its overhead and a timer to when you will see it etc and uses the phones compass etc to position you the direction
