International Space Station (ISS) visible in the sky this Thursday

See full size imageThere was a huge interest in viewing this a couple of months ago that I'm posting times to view the Space Station again. Thursday is the best night, where the station is visible for 6 minutes high in the sky. It starts at 6:51PM. The Space Station will look like a bright star travelling across the sky, rising in the Northwest, tracking almost directly overhead, and setting in the Southeast. Exact coordinates are on the chart below. This information is for South Florida. To find your city, go to
