Space Cadets! Watch the Int'l Space Station tonight
FROM TODAY'S PRINT EDITIONS:
Space Cadets! If skies are clear enough tonight we’ll have another good opportunity to watch the International Space Station as a crew of six flies billions of your tax dollars from high over Alabama toward New Brunswick, Canada.
Look for a bright, star-like object to appear at 10:04 p.m. EDT, rising over the western horizon, passing between Mars and Saturn. At 10:07 it will pass through the handle of the Big Dipper, high in the northwest. Then it will slide off toward the northeast, disappearing at 10:10 p.m.

Thank you. Where do you receive this information from?
FR: From my secret sources inside NASA? Oh, all right. Go to www.heavens-above.com Select your location from their database, click on "ISS," and you'll have more predictions for the station that you'll ever be able to see. Now I'm out of a job. Thanks.

Very easy to see tonight at Dunloggin field. Everything was pretty much as you called it Frank. Thanks. My 9 year old son loved it.

Nice fly-by tonight from Silver Run - very bright, even with a nearly full moon. Liked seeing the ISS sweep through the stars in the big dipper's handle.
