The International Space Station can be seen be anyone located between 57° north and south latitudes. Times for observation may be obtained from Heavens-Above. You will see a very bright spot moving swiftly across the sky. As more of the station gets assembled, it will become brighter. Currently crewed with three astronauts, complete construction will welcome six full time residents. |
