Monday 28th Good Sighting of ISS at 6:10pm

Given that the weather forecast looks OK tomorrow for most of the UK and given the ISS is around at a decent time....good chance of seeing the International Space Station tomorrow at 6:10pm for about 3 minutes, it's at an angle of about 45 degrees for Long Eaton, so anywhere South of that it will be higher in the sky and anywhere North it will be lower in the sky.

As per usual to see it, go outside and face South, the ISS will be a bright steady white light that crosses the sky from West to East.

Thanks Colin, that's a more respectable time

Hopefully it will be a cloudless sky tomorrow.

Oh that’s a shame if it’s any consolation it’s totally clear here

Just an update for tonight Tuesday!

Tuesday 29th Excellent Sighting of ISS at 5:19pm

Excellent chance of seeing the International Space Station tonight at 5:19pm weather permitting for about 5 minutes, it's at an angle of about 34 degrees for Kettering, so anywhere South of that it will be higher in the sky and anywhere North it will be lower in the sky.

As per usual to see it, go outside and face South, the ISS will be a bright steady white light that crosses the sky from West to East.
