Space station sighting tonight at 5:35!

Don't forget our celestial visitors this evening at 5:35. It will be visible in the WNW sky and go overhead for approx 4 minutes disappearing to the ESE.

Just in case you want to show the kids. It is early this time, and a clear night, so a great viewing for the little ones....

Thank you Lakesrider for the heads up. We just went out and watched it travel overhead. It was right on time and traveling fast. This is the first time I have ever seen it, You made my day ! Thank You !!!!

Pretty cool to think that there are people up there zipping along at some ungodly, or godly for that matter, speed.

......for me was this past summer, around 4th of July. We have an annual Town Festival here in Kensington, complete with fireworks - space station was passing over and son got a pic of it, right in the center of a firework. The PA was playing the (forgetting the name) Overture at the same time. What a goosebumpy-moment THAT was!
