Thanks also, for posting the new timetable, but they are a bit too early for me this time.

I wonder if you'd still see it in daylight?
Not in broad daylight you won't, the sun would be in the wrong position to reflect off the solar panels.

Twilight and pre-dawn you can sometimes see it. There are often evening sightings that can be seen in the south that can't be seen in the North because it gets darker later up there.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Hello All.
Going slightly off topic I watched a very interesting and almost unbelievable documentary last evening about universe. I found it far too deep to grasp. It was said that our own Milky Way galaxy is just one of trillions.Our Solar System is just a very minute spot in this galaxy. Travelling at the speed of light it would take over a million years to travel from one edge of the Milky Way to the other. And the thing that I still cannot believe is that there are more stars in the Universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on this planet. So interesting. The stars we see in the sky are not as they are now but as they were millions of years ago.
I will be watching the second part of this documentary tonight.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

Excellent chances of seeing the International Space Station at 7:10pm and then at 8:47pm tonight

The 7:10pm sighting is for a whopping 6 minutes and at an angle of about 45 degress for the Midlands, lower the further North you are and higher the further South.

The 8:47pm is visible for 3 minutes and a bit higher in the sky at an angle of 70 degrees for the Midlands.
