ISS Sightings

[Elspode]

TF and I just came back in from watching the ISS/Shuttle stack go over. Brief sighting, about 1 minute from appearance out of the haze to entry into the Earth's shadow, but man, it was bright.

Another opportunity tomorrow night here in KC about 10:30ish. It will pass from West to East about two fingers' width below the North star. In observer-centric terms, it will pass just above the top of the "W" formed by the constellation Casseopaeia.

For our Philly friends, check this out for tomorrow night's sighting opportunity:

You'll need a clear Northern horizon, but it will be the brightest thing in the sky outside of Jupiter for almost four minutes.
