International Space Station Flyover at 8:35pm

[Catdaddy]

Yet nother great opportunity to see the International Space Station fly over the Carolinas. The flyover tonight begins at 8:35 pm and will last 6 minutes as it passes almost directly overhead.

If you've never seen it, all you have to do is look for a steady point of light as bright as Venus moving across the sky.

Interesting stats: The International Space Station will be moving at 17,150 mph and is roughly 250 miles above us. The "light" you see is actually sunlight reflecting off the massive solar panels.

I thought it would be more difficult to spot since it was still so light outside.

That thing was moving!

We tried but it was too cloudy for us. Thanks for the heads up.

Download the app “night sky”. It notifies you every time there’s a flyby. And you can use your phone and look around to find it. It’s also good for finding other constellations if you’re into that. I used it to pass time waiting on the sunrise last season.

Its super neat to watch the sky about 2-4 am late summer.

Sometimes I can't sleep and I will go out side and just stare at the sky.

It is amazing the things you can see.

Thanks Catdaddy. I read your post at exactly 8:35 and ran outside just in time to see it going overhead. Grabbed the binocs and watched her go. Pretty cool to see. The wife took some good pics.
