Its a truly fantastic sight. Saw it fly over few months ago. I love anything to do with the ISS. For those on Twitter follow astro_luca and @astrokarenn who are currently on board and just starting a 6 month stint up there and also @cmdr_Hadfield who returned to earth last month. The photo's they take are amazing. You can also follow the Space Station live on its own stream...... www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/iss_ustream.html The live camera changes between a view from the outside of the ISS, view from the inside, and also view of mission control. (Though its currently off air as im typing this) |

Just watched this tonight at 10.43pm. Did anyone see the 2 objects moving across the ISS at 90deg to it?
They looked to be moving too quick to be satellites!

Just seen it fly over. Not as good and bright as when I saw fly over earlier in the year and doesn't help when your house is surrounded by bloody street lights! Still mesmerizing though!

Well I think I missed the ISS but may have caught the one that passed over around ten mins after. Sky is crystal clear down here apart from next doors bloody security light. Saw one hell of a shooting star about 5 mins after the moving star-lije object. Does it pass over every evening then?

Sign up for their email alerts - spotthestation.nasa.gov/ - and they'll tell you what time and where in the sky it will appear. Looks like a plane but moves much faster and doesn't have any flashing lights - so not really like a plane at all  . |
