I just watched the space station flying over my house.
NASA has a sign up where you can get an email alert when it's going to be visible in your area
https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/signup.cfm Kinda interesting. 🚀

3. I watched it last night in Buford, Ga. Wish I had a telescope.
It's still cool just knowing it's the Space Station. Good for you. I really like setting my alarm to go out and watch it. Thanks for telling du'ers about it.

6. I remember when I was a kid our local weatherman would alert us when Sputnik was going to be passing
overhead. It was much smaller, but with a little patience you could pick it out.

12. About 8 years ago we watched the space station go over head.
And a bonus was a space shuttle zipping along to catch up.
Thanks for the reminder of the website. ![]() |

13. Back when I
got my first crummy telescope, I was downright amazed at how fast and how many things are moving and difficult to track manually. Being ignorant to such things for so many years and only glancing at the night sky in passing made it a real eye opener for me.
