4. Many years ago, I saw both the ISS and the shuttle

fly over. The shuttle was in the process of docking or undocking (don't remember) and was a distance away from the ISS. The 3 or 4 fingers — at arms length — separation was VERY impressive and a sight I'll never forget for it's uniqueness.

5. I live in Jemez Springs - super dark skies

Sometimes I see space trash re-entering the atmosphere.

6. You can get a schedule of passes over your location.

They also have an app available.

There are several other apps for ios and Android. I use one called Sat Track on my Android tablet.

7. There are apps that will let you know when the ISS is goign to be visible

From your location. You load it on your phone, let it track your location and it will alert you before the ISS comes over your area.

The one my sister uses tells you where it will come from and where it will leave your view - say it tells you the ISS wil come from the NNW and pass to the SSE.

I'm not sure which one she uses, there are a lot of them. I just loaded ISS Detector on my Samsung phone - it was the top rated one. It will be two days before I can test it - that's the next time the ISS will go over my location, according to the the app.

8. It moves pretty fast doesn't it?

[Roland99]

9. Yeah. Quite!

10. I did that one on the beach in Venice, CA

It was very cool...

[Iggo]

11. I saw that a few years back.

Weird is the word.

And yes, very cool.

12. A now-retired local TV weather forecaster used to make announcements of when ISS was visible during

His segment on the 6:00 news. Bob Ryan, on DC-area WRC, channel 4.

I never got tired of watching ISS. I haven't seen it in a few years. I know; I can look it up.
