Thank you honey, but now I'm even more confused, because it says on that long list that tomorrow at 11.19 it is either West or East?
I am still trying to fathom out if it will be West or East, and now you tell me to look South?

Re: Seeing the International Space Station
Mups if you face South, the Space Station will pass across the sky from West to East, that is it will cross from your right side to your left side, as the angle is high it will do this almost overhead. So face South and watch the bright white light go from the West to the East.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station
YEY, I SAW IT AT LAST!.
I thought it was asn aeroplane at first, but the time was just right and it went from West to East like you said.
Then an aeroplane passed by the other way and I could see the difference, with the plane having a flashing light underneath and not as bright either.
Thank you Dongles and DW.

I saw the plane passing in the opposite direction too.

I only saw it the first time a year
Once you do see it and you know what it is you are looking for, its easy to spot on the days and times its visible to the naked eye
I used to think a great big satellite was it
Im sure Colin will keep posting the dates on here
